Take $\Gamma ={\mathrm{PSL}}_2(\mathbb{Z})$ as a subgroup of ${\mathrm{PSL}}_2(\mathbb{C})$. It is discrete because representatives have integer entries, so a bounded set of matrices contains only finitely many such representatives, modulo the two choices of sign. It is finitely generated byThe Euclidean algorithm on the first column of an integer determinant-one matrix reduces it using these two transformations, proving the generation statement.

It is non-elementary. The powers of $T$ move an interior upper-half-space point towards $\infty$, so $\infty \in \Lambda (\Gamma )$. Conjugating $T$ by $S$ gives a parabolic with fixed point $0$, and conjugating that parabolic by $T$ gives one with fixed point $1$. Their interior orbits approach those respective points. Thus $0,1,\infty$ are three distinct points in the Kleinian limit set.

However $S^2=1$ in the projective group, and $S$ is a nonidentity elliptic Möbius transformation fixing the hyperbolic geodesic with boundary endpoints $i,-i$. It is a half-turn around that axis. Near an ordinary point of the axis, quotienting identifies the transverse angle modulo $\pi$, giving cone angle $\pi$ instead of $2\pi$. The elliptic stabilizer obstruction to a hyperbolic manifold quotient therefore givesThe obstruction is the nonfree action, not finite generation or elementary behavior. An underlying topological quotient can still be a manifold; the conical quotient metric is what prevents this example from being a hyperbolic manifold quotient.
