Gamekeeper due in court facing multiple charges of raptor persecution, poisons & firearms offences

A gamekeeper is due in court on Wednesday 4th January 2023 to answer multiple charges of alleged raptor persecution, poisons and firearms offences.

This case relates to the multi-agency raid carried out on a shooting estate in Dorset in March 2021, led by the now former wildlife crime officer Claire Dinsdale (see here).

This prosecution is particularly interesting on a number of levels – watch this space.

As this is a live prosecution, comments won’t be accepted until the case concludes. Thanks for your understanding.
