Written by HFM News on 13th January 2020
Three men have denied the illegal slaughtering of up to 350 sheep and lambs in fields across Northamptonshire, including in Kelmarsh, Clipston and Welford.
Robert Iordan, 23, Florin Nutu, 35 and Voirel Manu, 38, all from Birmingham, are accused of conspiracy to steal, in relation to the illegal butchery of animals between June and October last year.
Each pleaded not guilty to the charges when they appeared before Northampton Crown Court earlier, via videolink from HMP Peterborough, and will now go on trial in March.
The men, who were remanded back into custody, were arrested in October after Police stopped a vehicle on the A14 near Welford.
