Heavily Pregnant Sheep Killed and Gutted Near Wibtoft

Seven heavily pregnant ewes, due to lamb in the next week, have been rounded up and killed by unknown offender(s) in a rural area near Wibtoft.  The farmer found the entrails and dead unborn lambs this morning, all that was left of the butchered sheep, when they went to check their flock.  There is concern that the remaining heavily pregnant ewes may have been chased and have complications.
