Two Plumpton College students jailed for sadistic sheep killing with explosives
Two Plumpton College agricultural students were jailed after beating a sheep to death and inserting explosive bird scarers into its body, with footage found on one of the suspects' phones; Leighton Ashby received two years and Oakley Hollands 20 months in a young offender institution, both banned from owning animals for 10 years. The judge described the act as sadistic, and the college condemned the behaviour while animal-rights protesters gathered outside the court.
