A giant rat that had been terrorizing a Stockholm family has been brought to justice, reports BBC News. The animal, known to Swedes by its nickname, "Ratzilla," was caught at the home of the Korsas family where it had been growing fat on a steady diet of trash.

Though the animal was seriously injured by a pest controller's trap, the piece goes on to recount how the awesomely-named Korsas boys, Justus and Laurentius, were instrumental in the rodent's demise.
The women of the house—mother Signe and daughters Dana and Erica, 17 and 15 respectively—took fright but his sons, 13-year-old Justus and six-year-old Laurentius, eventually proved themselves as genuine rat-hunters, he said.
Once the rat was officially dead, it was discovered to weigh 2.2 pounds and measured in at almost 16 inches.
