Key Investigation 9

Two police officers (30 plus year of experience between them) were undertaking a routine patrol in the countryside. At 03.00 as they were driving down a country road with a wood to their left a large black animal ( length estimated at between three to four feet, height about two to two and one half feet ) walked in front of the car from right to left in the light of the main beam of the police car. The cat was described as black. When they got to the point where the cat had entered the wood they stopped the car and both got out and searched the area for signs of the animal. Upon returning to the car both officers undertook a drawing of what they saw. These drawings are reproduced below. It should be noted that the police officers names, signatures, numbers have been ‘smugged’ to provide confidentiality for both witnesses. Any other information such as date and time has been left to indicate authenticity.

Key Investigation 10

The farmer who reported this 'event' had had a number of possible predation incidents prior to contacting me. This ewe was had died/been killed at the top of the field and then was dragged in a straight line about 100m to the right of the bushes in the extreme top right hand side of the image below.

The ewe was then dragged over a four foot fence when where it was devoured. The fence had no holes in its entire length and was also dug into the earth its entire length.

The farmer had inspected the field less than two hours previously and this ewe was not there. Damage to the jaw bone was clearly evident as was a broken spine at the base of the neck. The following images record these injuries.

What still confuses me is if badgers, fox, dog and other carrion had done this how did they drag the ewe over the fence 100m away? How was the carcass striped in just a couple of hours in daylight when  Badgers / Fox would not be as active?
