Sheep dies ‘after being chased off cliff'
A sheep was killed when it was allegedly chased over a cliff edge in Cornwall, police have said. Members of the public confronted a man following the incident in Polly Joke, near Newquay, on July 27, according to Devon and Cornwall Police, who added that it was alleged the man reacted aggressively. In a statement, the force said: 'We know this incident has had a huge impact on the local community and we can't imagine why anyone would willingly chase or harm an innocent animal. 'Behaviour like this is unacceptable and we will continue to work alongside the investigating officers to bring the offender to justice. 'We believe there were a number of people who witnessed this incident who are yet to come forward but who may be able to assist us in our investigation. 'If you were in the area and have any information that may help us, please, please come forward.' Sam Haylett, of Guildford, Surrey, has denied responsibility for the sheep's death on social media, after a picture of him circulated across several platforms. It was claimed on social media that Mr Haylett and his two teenage sons had chased the sheep, but while he admits he was there, he said another man was responsible. Children 'upset' by shouting man Mr Haylett said: 'Just to set things straight. Yes that is me in the picture that everyone has been sharing around and yes I was down in Cornwall. 'I went away for a week with my whole family to spread my grandma and grandad's ashes at their special place. 'We stopped at a few spots and took lots of beautiful pictures, there were lots of sheep running around the fields and below us.' Mr Haylett said his children became 'upset' because they thought the sheep were stuck, before a man came 'shouting and swearing', accusing his children of chasing the sheep. He said: 'This made the children even more upset! I told him to stop swearing at the children but he continued to shout and said 'How the f--- would you like it if I threw you off the cliff?' to which I replied, 'You would be going first.' Mr Haylett claimed that the man walked towards the single sheep on the edge, which made the sheep run and then slip. He said: 'I'm not sure if it fell down as we were further up and it's very dangerous along there, the man was still shouting so we walked off. 'There was another couple at the top of the path who both said that the man was out of order for shouting at the children and they weren't chasing the sheep.'

For the BBC to survive it must radically change its culture… from top to bottom
Beeb's mess WHAT a sorry mess the BBC has now got itself into. Nothing sums up its self-inflicted plight more than deciding to last night broadcast MasterChef featuring Gregg Wallace and John Torode. 1 After some frantic editing, they stripped the show of all 'jokes' — but still managed to put two stars who were sacked in disgrace just two weeks ago on screen 100 times. Little wonder Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy refused to watch. Meanwhile, as we report today, the probe into allegations of a toxic culture at BBC Breakfast is set to be widened. And the furore over the Corporation's broadcasting of an antisemitic rant by the rapper Bob Vylan continues. It's deeply disturbing that Beeb bosses have been unable to convince Ms Nandy the scandal could not be repeated. From Strictly to Huw Edwards, Auntie lurches from one fiasco to another — with angry viewers fobbed off with that tired old excuse about 'lessons being learned'. This matters because licence-fee payers are forced by law to fund the Corporation — and so have little option but to suck up the mayhem and mismanagement. For the BBC to survive, it must radically change its culture….from top to bottom. Sinking plans LABOUR has unveiled a raft of policies this week aimed at stopping the boats. Each shallow gimmick has already quickly unravelled. John Torode sacked by BBC after being accused of using N-word while singing along to Kanye West song Gold Digger How can ministers catch the people-smugglers 'illegally' advertising crossings on social media given they mostly operate from abroad? How will prosecutors identify those committing a 'criminal offence' by causing overcrowding on the dinghies? Is it the first person on the boat . . . or should it be the last? Labour's one-in-one-out deal with France also looks doomed already as migrants can use human rights laws to fight deportation — while the French have power of veto over any swap. Certainly, the migrants — who arrived by the boatload again yesterday — aren't taking any notice. Kinnock knock DESPERATE patients trapped on endless NHS lists are increasingly turning to private healthcare to get treatment. Many are not rich but use hard-earned savings to do so. Former Labour leader Neil Kinnock — on a massive EU pension and no stranger to paying privately himself — now says they should cough up VAT, too.

Stoke Newington murder victim named
The victim of a fatal shooting in north London has been named by police. A murder investigation was launched after Erdal Ozmen, 45, was killed in Stoke Newington, the Metropolitan Police said. He was found with gunshot injuries by officers who were called to an address in Dynevor Road on Tuesday at 12.18am. The father-of-one was 'deeply loved by his family' detectives said on Wednesday as they appealed for witnesses to help find his killer. Residents said they woke to the sounds of gunshots. Mr Ozmen was pronounced dead at the scene. Detectives say the motive for the murder remains unclear. No arrests have been made. Detective Chief Inspector Dave Whellams, who is leading the investigation, said: 'We continue to appeal for witnesses to come forward following the fatal shooting of Erdal. 'He was a father-of-one and was deeply loved by his family. 'Today, we are asking the public for assistance. Were you in the Dynevor Road area late on Monday night into early Tuesday morning? Did you see anyone acting out of the ordinary? 'Did you hear anything at all which perhaps seemed unusual – maybe people shouting, or a loud vehicle? 'The smallest piece of information could play a significant role in our investigation.' A post-mortem examination has not yet been carried out. Mr Ozmen's family are being supported by specialist officers. Liza Dodds, 58, a youth worker who lives opposite Dynevor Road, said: 'My husband woke up and said there was gunshots. The instant reaction was 'how do you know?' 'We both got up and had a look. A police officer was doing CPR where the person fell. It seemed like they were going forever.' Another resident said: 'I heard a few gunshots and the first thing I thought was that it was fireworks, because you don't expect it to be a gun. 'I was trying to sleep but then later I heard sirens from the police cars.' One resident, who asked to remain anonymous, said: 'We were out when it happened so we didn't hear or see anything. 'But when we came back at around 1am, the whole area was cordoned off and the police officers told us that it will be a crime scene for a couple of days.' Forensic officers in scrubs and masks were at the scene on Tuesday afternoon, alongside several police officers.
