Family's fear as yobs throw animal body parts onto their land - including pig's head

A family fear for their lives after they discovered gruesome animal parts strewn across their land - including a gruesome pig’s head left hanging outside on a gate post.

Rema Ince, from Redruth, Cornwall, owns a field in nearby Crofthandy that she recently inherited from her grandfather.

However, in recent months she has discovered animal parts thrown onto the land.

The issue got worse this week when the pig’s head was found tied to a gate, Cornwall Live revealed.

Rema said: “The pig's head being chained to the gate is beyond belief. It’s terrifying, intimidating and we don’t know what’s going to happen next.

“It’s been going on for a while and the harassment has got so bad a pig's head was tied to the gate.

“All summer animal parts were being thrown onto the field. It seems somebody doesn’t like me, it really is absolutely disgusting.

“We started finding pigs’ trotters. I sent my dad up there. He is a Muslim and ever since he went up there it’s just got worse. My dad grew up in Middle-East conflict so he does not like confrontation and this has upset him. No doubt it will upset the whole local Muslim community.

“I inherited the field from my grandfather and wanted it to be a place to remember him but now it’s just tainted.”

The family are now avoiding letting their pets and children run free on the land owing to the issues.

Rema added: “I used to let my dog off the lead there but can’t now as he’ll just got and sniff out and pick up the pig remains.

“My two-year-old can’t go and run around.

“It’s all very sad and we’re very worried.”

Cornwall Council was made aware of the matter due to environmental concerns.

Devon and Cornwall Police has confirmed initially no further action was taken against a suspect but that decision is currently subject of the victim’s right to review.
