Police warn farmers after spate of unexplained and ‘abhorrent’ sheep killings in Sevenoaks

Farmers have been put on high alert after a spate of unexplained sheep deaths.

Police are investigating a spate of suspicious incidents in the Sevenoaks area after eight of the woolly mammals were stolen and killed in an “abhorrent” mannner.

The remains of six sheep were found strewn across the garden of an address in Otford Lane, Halstead on Friday, November 24.

Then, nearly a week later, the hides and entrails of two more sheep were later discovered dumped in a layby in Ovenden Road, Sundridge.
