A farmer from Devon has described the scene when he uncovered a brutal and barbaric attack on his herd of sheep.

The farmer, who keeps the animals on land near Exeter, does not want to be named for fear of repercussions.

He told ITV News West Country he and his wife discovered six of their sheep had been killed when they went to carry out a routine check on the flock at around 9pm on Monday 22 July 2024.
