I found a cat and children killed it

I found a cat, almost dying, what you would call a typically stray cat. I took it home and loved it, something no one around here understood at all.
The kids around my place always harassed it whenever it went out of the house.
When that happened while I was around it would run back to the house or if I heard them I would get out and the kids would run away.
One time I came home and I couldn’t find it. One week went by, nothing, and another nothing.
So I thought it had gone somewhere to die or someone had stolen it. It was around one and a half years since I found it. But around 3 months after it had disappeared I was told that actually my cat had been killed by those kids while I was away.
On asking the kids who did it, they admitted beating it and piercing it, yes with a knife!
After that, I imagine it wasn’t actually dead, they threw it in a pit which is sort of a sewer.
I was so sad, when I look at pictures I have of it, it is quite painful to know how it died.
I now have a kitten its called Tia, the two are quite different.
