CONVICTED (2024) | hare coursers George William Miller, born July 1991, of Loupsfell Drive, Morecambe LA4 4SB and Lewis Sheridan, born 21 October 1986, of 128 Thicketford Road, Bolton BL2 2LU
The pair were seen hare coursing near the Lincolnshire villages of Twenty and West Pinchbeck on Friday 13 October 2023. They were spotted walking across arable land with their two long dogs. The dogs -one beige in colour and the other black – were seen chasing and catching hares.
Caught red handed: convicted hare courser Lewis Sheridan
The men had arrived in the area in a silver Skoda car which they had left near to a farm in the area. They had tried to hide the car behind some foliage.
On arriving back at the car, the men were challenged by the local farmer who had tried to block the car in with farm machinery. In a bid to escape, the Skoda was driven at speed across grassed areas and onto the A151.
Sheridan and Miller were arrested when their car was seen and stopped by officers from Lincolnshire Police’s Rural Crime Action Team (RCAT), around an hour later.
The men’s car was seized along with the two dogs and equipment including three thermal cameras, a video camera and four mobile phones.
Information obtained from the recording devices and mobile phones pinpointed the men’s unlawful activities and provided evidence of their offending.
During interview the men lied that they had the landowner’s permission to undertake pest control in the area.
On 1 May 2024 Sheridan and Miller pleaded guilty to hunting a wild mammal with a dog, contrary to Schedule 1 of the Hunting Act 2004.
Both men relinquished ownership of their dogs who have subsequently been rehomed.
Sentencing | 10-year Criminal Behaviour Orders banning them from entering onto any private land in Lincolnshire, Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Northamptonshire or Nottinghamshire during hare coursing season (31 July to 30 April) with a sighthound, ground, long dog, lurcher type dog or crossbreed or be in the company of any other people with that type of dog. Ordered to pay a total of £4,575.50 in full by 30 May 2024.
George Miller, who’s originally from Lancaster (Slyne Road) with links to Heysham, has a roofing company called Lancashire and Cumbria Roofing Ltd.
In March 2021 Miller received a three-year ban on breeding and selling dogs after being convicted of illegally trading puppies. He was prosecuted by Animal Protection Services following their investigation into his activities.
Lewis Sheridan is also a roofer. His wife runs a dog grooming company called Your Faithful Friend Limited, which operates from premises on Bury Road, Bolton BL2 6BB.
CONVICTED (2024) | Eugene Meenaghan, born 10 February 2001, of 43 Crabgate Lane, Skellow, Doncaster DN6 8LE, Joseph Murtagh, born December 2001, from Woodlands, Doncaster, Jay Poole born 2 April 2004, of 3 The Circuit, Woodlands, Doncaster DN6 7TE, and Jake Reidy, born 23 May 2005, of 58 Princess Avenue, Stainforth, Doncaster DN7 5QY – for the possession of hare coursing equipment and destroying a farmer’s field.
The four men, who are all prolific wildlife persecutors, travelled from Doncaster to the hamlet of Apley, near Wragby, East Lindsey, Lincolnshire, in the early hours of 1 October 2023. They then drove through a farmer’s field, damaging the land and destroying crops, before attempting to leave the area.
Eugene Meenaghan
The crime was reported to Lincolnshire Police and patrolling officers from Spec Ops quickly identified the vehicle and stopped the group near Burton Waters.
Officers found longdogs and equipment such as lamps – used in lamping to stun wild animals before dogs are set loose.
They were arrested and subsequently videos of animal fights were found on their phones.
Jake Reidy
All four men were charged with being equipped to hare course, breach of section nine of the animal welfare act and criminal damage. They pleaded guilty to these charges.
Jay Poole with father Craig Poole
On Thursday 25 April 2024 officials at Lincoln Magistrates’ Court told the group to pay out a combined total of £19,791.72 in costs and compensation.
Eugene Meenaghan will pay £5,262,93. Joseph Murtagh will pay £4,842.93. Jay Poole will pay £4,842.93. Jake Reidy will pay £4,842.93.
Magistrates described the crimes as ‘cruel and despicable’ and said the events of that night had ‘caused great distress’.
Joe Murtagh
This result comes after a lengthy police investigation and PC Karen Irving, who works for the rural crime action team, insists this behaviour won’t be tolerated.
She said: “We are determined to make Lincolnshire the safest place to live, work and visit. This result shows we will use all avenues available to us to bring people to justice and protect our communities and wildlife.
Sentencing | costs and compensation; 10-year criminal behaviour order not to enter Lincolnshire with longdogs; 100 hours of community service. Forfeiture of mobile phones and lamping equipment. Disqualified from keeping dogs for 10 years..
CONVICTED (2024) | Bogdan Gruia (aka Bogdan Gruya), born 28 June 1990, of 178 Frodingham Road, Scunthorpe DN15 7NN – part of a group of men that stole a pregnant ewe from a farm, slit her throat and left her to bleed to death.
Roma gypsy Gruia, who came to the UK from Craiova in Romania, indicated a plea of guilty to aiding and abetting “a person unknown” to cause unnecessary suffering to a protected animal by cutting her throat and leaving her to bleed to death.
The remains of the sheep and her unborn lambs were found in an alleyway near premises in the control of Gruia, a garage owner who gave the court an alternative address of Digby Street in, Scunthorpe
The sheep had been stolen from a farm near Epworth, and subsequently slaughtered in an inhumane manner.
Gruia was found not guilty of handling stolen goods.
Three other suspects are still being sought by Humberside Police who have released images of them.
Speaking after Gruia’s conviction, PC Grant of Humberside Police’s Rural Task Force said: “This is the first conviction for an incident relating to the theft of sheep in the North Lincolnshire area since it became a local problem in 2018.
“Operation Bo Peep has been running since 2021 to tackle this issue and has, over the last three years, reduced sheep theft by 80%.
“I hope this conviction gives the farming community confidence that the police take this matter seriously and will bring offenders to justice.
“Three suspects for this incident are still outstanding, so I appeal to the public again to identify them.
“Anyone who believes they can identify the outstanding suspects can call Humberside Police on 101 and quote investigation reference 22901960470. Alternatively contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
Sentencing | fined £769, ordered to pay a £308 victim services surcharge and £85 in costs to the Crown Prosecution Service.
CONVICTED (2024) | John Cameron Lindop, born 20 March 2000, of 7 Albion Hill, Epworth, Doncaster DN9 1HU* but with family links to Gainsborough, and Lucy Elizabeth Melrose, born 20 June 2000, of Hawthorne Road, Ferryhill DL17 9DP but originally from Gateshead – killed and burned a puppy and abused other animals in a campaign of horrific cruelty.
John Lindop and Lucy Melrose were convicted of a litany of cruelty offences against numerous animals including three dogs, one of whom was sadistically killed by one or both defendants, a chicken and a Shetland pony
John Lindop and Lucy Melrose committed a series of sickening offences against defenceless animals. These included killing a puppy and burning the remains, beating a second dog, riding a small lame pony, and setting a dog on a chicken while filming the carnage.
At the time the pair lived together in a flat in Fifth Street, Horden, County Durham.
It was said in court that the pair were in a tempestuous relationship and took out their frustrations on their pets.
Lurcher Max, who was described as subdued and withdrawn, had suffered injuries to his abdomen. He required treatment by the PDSA for muscular damage and other injuries
They appeared at Durham Crown Court on Friday 16 February 2024 and were given suspended prison sentences.
The crimes came to light following an RSPCA investigation led by Inspector Clare Wilson, which spanned two years and involved multiple animals.
The charity was first alerted to the couple in February 2022 when a member of the public contacted the RSPCA after bringing Max, a lurcher they had recently rehomed, into the PDSA Gateshead with injuries to his abdomen, and blood in his urine.
Inspector Clare Wilson said: “Max was very subdued and withdrawn, he was hanging his head and was attached to drips when I first saw him.
“I immediately noticed that his muzzle was very swollen as was his right side near his shoulder. There was blood visible in the white of his right eye too. I was told that he had been weeing blood.
“There was bruising visible on his abdomen and sheath and there were blood marks on his legs and I saw old scars on his rear legs near his feet. His nails were not scuffed as we would expect if he had been hit by a car so the vet told me that they thought he had been beaten or kicked.”
The member of the public who brought the dog into the vets had rehomed him from Melrose and Lindop the day before and she had brought the lurcher to the vets as soon as she realised he was injured.
Tally had inflammation of an ear which should have been treated by a vet
A vet report found Max had suffered blunt force trauma injuries, brought on by physical abuse.
The report said: “Max was bleeding from both nostrils which were dripping blood. He had soft tissue swelling around his left eye and bruising on his neck. He also had visible bruising and swelling on both sides of his ribs and thighs and heavy bruising on his abdomen. The injuries suffered by Max are consistent with low energy impacts, such as kicking, being hit by fists, or thrown from a few metres down or falling down the stairs.
“Out of each of these scenarios it is my opinion that being kicked is most likely due to the placement of all his injuries. In my opinion, he has been hit or kicked to the muzzle and kicked repeatedly – possibly multiple times to his abdomen as bruising and injuries were more extensive there.”
When interviewed, Melrose claimed that Lindop had, “kicked him like a football and stamped on his head.”
It was later revealed that during the investigation, the couple had hid other dogs from the RSPCA, including a lurcher called Bambi and a German Shepherd dog called Tally.
Melrose later showed these dogs to the RSPCA’s investigating officer. Tally was underweight and her right ear was crooked and inflamed with a severe ear infection.
Durham Crown Court heard how the vet found Tally suffered due to the ear condition which would have caused irritation and pain for at least 10 days or longer.
A report stated that the person responsible for Tally had failed to seek veterinary advice for her ear condition and therefore had failed in protecting her from pain and suffering.
During the investigation, Melrose’s phone was seized and found to contain shocking videos depicting more animal welfare offences. This included Bambi, a fawn coloured lurcher, being baited and set on a chicken. Lindop claimed Melrose was responsible for this but “accepted he found it funny at the time, but did not know if the chicken had died as he had gone to the chip shop”.
A video on Melrose’s phone showed her riding a lame Shetland pony called Dinky, who was much too small for her
A series of other videos on her phone showed Melrose riding a Shetland pony called Dinky who was struggling under the weight of carrying her and was clearly lame in one leg.
Analysis of the videos by a vet revealed: “The female was far too large for both the saddle and the pony and as a result her body overhangs the back and sides of the saddle. The female is carrying a whip in her right hand and trying to force the pony to trot forwards.”
The 16-second video showed her hitting the pony with a stick 10 times.
The pony tries to avoid having to move forward and only moves forward at a trot once she has been repeatedly smacked with the whip and this is due to the fear and pain of being hit. The mouth of the pony is often open due to her discomfort and the pony is visibly lame on the right forelimb.
Text messages between Lindop and his mother were also discovered in which Lindop asks “If a dog’s been hit and nearly dead am I not in the right to finish it off so it’s not in pain or does that mean I killed it?”.
With the reply: “She killed it, you put it out its misery but you would both get done as should have been done by a vet humanely.”
Lindop then replied to his mother: “Won’t find it now like coz burnt it (sic).”
The burned remains of Welsh herder puppy Hades were found on scrubland near a railway line in Horden, County Durham
The charred remains of Hades, a 12 week old Welsh Herder puppy, were also found close to a railway line in an area of scrubland in Hordon, Peterlee, where there were burnt patches on the ground and fragments of Hades’ bones were discovered by the RSPCA.
Lindop claimed in graphic detail that Melrose had killed him whilst Melrose told investigators that Lindop had “hung him from a door until he was brain dead.”
The prosecution said they were unable to say who killed Hades but the method of his death was “sadistic” and involved him being hung from a door and killed with a hammer.
Lindop, whom it was said in court is living with his family in Gainsborough in Lincolnshire, admitted two counts each of causing unnecessary suffering to an animal and permitting or failing to stop unnecessary suffering to a protected animal.
Melrose admitted two counts each of causing unnecessary suffering to a protected animal, and permitting or failing to stop unnecessary suffering to a protected animal, plus one of causing an animal fight to take place by baiting a chicken with a dog.
In mitigation, the court heard how the pair had challenging backgrounds and it was felt that rehabilitation is possible, given their young age.
Philip Morley, for Lindop, said he was, “not a sophisticated man”, having had “limited education” and is thought to suffer with an undiagnosed learning difficulty.
He said despite that, he has held down a variety of jobs and, “largely kept out of trouble”.
Mr Morley said at one stage Lindop formed a relationship with Melrose which he described as “toxic” and for which there is, now, no prospect of any reconciliation.
“It was clearly an unhealthy relationship for either party and not a good environment for those animals to be kept in.
“He’s deeply sorry and ashamed for what happened.
“The relationship got on top of him and he clearly took his eye off the ball.
“Both have now moved on and he has a new life in Gainsborough, working with his step-father in roofing and window cleaning.”
Mr Morley said, ironically, Lindop has a background of looking after animals and won a number of rosettes for training dogs in his younger days,
But he added that his client does not accept responsibility for the death of Hades, for which he has shown “genuine upset and remorse.”
Aspiring Only Fans skank Melrose shows off her tacky tattoos
Katie Spence, for Melrose, said her previous employment involved working with animals, but the entire experience of what went on during her relationship with Lindop has put her off any future involvement, regardless of the punishment and bars put on her by the court.
“She is extremely remorseful for any behaviour and wishes she had dome more than she did in these circumstances (to prevent it).”
Judge Peter Armstrong also mentioned mental health issues and commented that Lindop was now in a secure relationship with a baby on the way.
He said due to their age, their immaturity, and lack of previous offences, he was “just” able to suspend the inevitable prison sentences on both defendants.
He said, given the volatile relationship the pair were involved in, “I suspect you were taking out your frustrations on these animals in your welfare.”
He said he would not try to pinpoint who was primarily responsible for, “this catalogue of most unpleasant offending.”
Speaking about the case, RSPCA Inspector Clare Wilson, said: “This has been the most challenging case of my career so far and has been extremely distressing to investigate. It is clear that many animals suffered untold pain and mental torture at the hands of these defendants and I am immensely relieved that they will not be permitted to care for animals again for a long time.”
The RSPCA said Dinky was owned by a third party and is doing better now after recovering from her mistreatment. The dogs were brought into the care of RSPCA Felledge Animal Centre in Chester-le-Street where they have now been rehomed.
Sentencing | each were given 16-month prison sentences, suspended for two years. Both will undergo 40 days of rehabilitation and Lindop was ordered to carry out 100 hours of unpaid work. Both were disqualified from keeping all animals for 15 years.
CONVICTED (2023) | Lovelle Paharsingh,born 13 February 2003, of Heneage Road, Grimsby DN32 9NP – failed to take a kitten with an unexplained lip injury to the vet.
Paharsingh, who’s originally from the Shiregreen area of Sheffield and retains family links to the city, changed his plea from not guilty to guilty.
The charges were in relation to an unnamed black and white kitten.
Paharsingh admitted failing to care for or obtain proper veterinary care for an injury to the animal’s lip.
The condition of the kitten was not reported.
Sentencing | fined £270 and ordered to pay a victim services surcharge of £34. Banned from keeping cats for eight years,
CONVICTED (2023) | Jack Woods aka Jax Woods, born 5 July 2001, of 10 Cosens Way, Felpham, Bognor Regis PO22 8FG but with links to Boston, Lincolnshire – physically abused three horses and psychologically abused another in brutal attacks.
Shocking footage showed Woods whipping, and slapping different horses. He is also shown threatening a horse with a whip on several occasions. The incidents took place at Mabrook Equestrian Centre in Boston, Lincolnshire, which Woods ran with girlfriend Charlotte Martin.
Speaking about the case, an expert vet said: “The horses in these clips are no less than absolutely terrified.
“The horses desperately try to escape from him and display severe fear, escapism and avoidance behaviours – equines are flight or fight animals as they are prey species these horses in these videos are displaying complete flight behaviour.
“Unreasonable force and his actions are nothing short of barbaric and cruel and are used due to the lack of his own ability to both handle and ride horses.”
“He causes them intense fear and distress by both his actions and his body language.
“He is observed on the video to repeatedly beat the different horses around the head and neck predominantly but also the body.
“There is very little in the way of soft tissue covering on the head as such the blows were almost directly to the bone which is painful.”
Woods pleaded guilty to attacking the horses in Boston, Lincolnshire, admitting counts of causing unnecessary suffering to the three horses and inflicting psychological abuse on the fourth horse.
He also admitted failing to avoid the use of inappropriately harsh, potentially painful and frightening training, handling, control or disciplinary measure of all four horses.
RSPCA lead investigator Andy Bostock said: “These videos are disturbing and heart breaking to watch and you can see that the horses are in fear.
“The defendant’s behaviour is unacceptable, extremely aggressive, extremely unnecessary and has led to the horses within the video being caused fear, distress and pain and suffering.”
Sentencing | 26-week suspended prison sentence; rehabilitation activities; 200 hours of unpaid work; £2,100 in costs. Disqualified from owning horses for 18 months (expires early 2025).
CONVICTED (2023) | hare coursing gang members Nelson Loveridge, born c. 1985, of 3 Maltmas Road, Friday Bridge, Wisbech PE14 9HR, Danny Rainford, born c. 1990, of Seadyke Caravan Park, Seadyke Road, Wisbech St Mary, Wisbech PE13 4XF, Stacey Smith, born c. 1984, of Baulkins Drove, Sutton St James, Spalding PE12 0JU and Terry Smith, born c. 1983, of Oxney Road, Peterborough PE1
Hare coursers Stacey Smith, Terry Smith, Danny Rainford, Nelson Loveridge
Travellers Nelson Loveridge, Stacey Smith, Danny Rainford and Terry Smith, who are all well known to police, pleaded guilty to being equipped for hare coursing.
All four men, who are “landscape gardeners” by trade, had previous convictions for poaching.
They were arrested by Lincolnshire Police Rural Crime officers following a short pursuit for hare coursing in the Eastern Road area of Spalding on 9 November, 2022.
Police had been called to a suspected hare coursing incident nearby. A grey Volkswagen vehicle – which was not insured, had no MOT and was not registered to anyone – made off when officers arrived.
It was later found abandoned in Flag Lane, Whaplode Drove, alongside a number of recently-killed hares, said prosecutor Kate Minihane.
A dog handler traced the men nearby.
“A download from Terry Smith’s phone showed a hare coursing incident on the day of arrest but it couldn’t be pinpointed where that happened,” said the prosecutor.
“Three dogs were kept by police in kennels at large expense to the public purse.”
They belonged to Loveridge, Rainford and Stacey Smith. All of the dogs had been forfeited and rehomed since. A fourth dog was seized but no one accepted ownership.
Sentencing | four months’ imprisonment suspended for 24 months; a five-year criminal behaviour order not to enter Lincolnshire during the hare coursing season and be on land with a sight hound or be in company with any person with such a dog without permission. Six-month driving disqualification. all items used in connection with the offence have been forfeited, including their vehicle and their dogs. Stacy Smith, Nelson Loveridge and Danny Rainford have been required to pay £3,586 to recover the kennelling costs. They have also each received fines of £239. Disqualified from keeping dogs for five years (expires July 2028).
CONVICTED (2023) | Kerri Dunstan, born c. 1988, of 27 Anderson Street, West Marsh, Grimsby DN31 2LY – failed to treat her kittens’ severe flea infestation, leading to them dying.
Mother-of-three Dunstan pleaded guilty to causing unnecessary suffering to the kittens by failing to provide adequate or any parasitic control.
This failure led to the kittens becoming anaemic and subsequently dying.
One of the flea-ridden kittens found in the Grimsby home of Kerri Dunstan
Dunstan also pleaded guilty to failing to take reasonable steps to ensure the needs of the animals were met, namely by failing to provide any or adequate parasitic control, to investigate and address the cause of the kittens’ poor bodily condition and to failing to take any steps to resolve any severe flea infestation affecting the animals.
Another two kittens from the same litter had died three days before the RSPCA visited the home, while a fifth had been taken to the Blue Cross in Grimsby in a “barely responsive” state and also passed away.
Magistrates heard how an RSPCA animal rescue worker, Hannah Williams, had visited Dunstan’s home in August 2022. She found two kittens in a lethargic state and crawling with fleas. They were taken for immediate veterinary treatment, but died the following day.
In her evidence to the court, the vet who examined the two kittens rescued by the RSPCA said: “Both of them were suffering from severe anaemia with heavy flea infestation and hypothermia. They were placed in an incubator to try and raise their body temperatures and were sprayed with Fipronil and combed for fleas. They were syringe fed milk regularly and their temperature was also monitored.
“By night-time, both kittens showed some improvement in demeanour and their temperatures had risen, but still below the normal acceptable range. Monitoring continued overnight and they were both given subcutaneous fluids.”
Sadly, the kittens continued to deteriorate and could not be saved. Their mother, a three-legged black and white cat called Luna, was also removed from Dunstan’s house and taken for urgent treatment.
The kittens’ mother, Luna, was also in a poor condition but recovered in the RSPCA’s care and was rehomed
On examination, Luna was found to be underweight and also suffering from a heavy flea infestation, with scabs around her ears and neck which had been caused by constant scratching. Like the two kittens, she was seized by police under the Animal Welfare Act 2006.
Dunstan was on holiday at the time the kittens were seized, but said during interview that she had “used flea bombs and sprays” inside the house. She apologised for what had happened and said that she had not realised the level of care the animals required, the court heard.
Magistrates said they could not understand why she had allowed the kittens to get into such a poor state. Luna has since been rehomed by the RSPCA, and a deprivation order was also ordered by the court to protect another cat living at the property.
Sentencing | 16-week prison sentence, suspended for 12 month; costs of £500 and victim services surcharge of £154. One adult cat was surrendered to the RSPCA. Disqualified from keeping animals for ten years (expires June 2033).
CONVICTED (2023) | Olly Adegboyega, born December 1967, previously of Morton Road, Swinderby, Lincoln LN6 but as of November 2023 believed to be in Shoby, Melton Mowbray* – for the mistreatment of seven dogs kept at his home.
Despicable: serial animal abuser Oludotun Adegboyega
Olly Adegboyega, who also uses the first name Oludotun, pleaded guilty to causing unnecessary suffering to six dogs by failing to provide adequate nutrition. He also failed to meet the welfare needs of seven dogs.
The RSPCA attended the defendant’s home in December 2022 and discovered the mistreated dogs.
RSPCA inspector Daniel Bradshaw described the scene that confronted him: “The hallway carpet was soaked in urine and there were faeces trodden all over upstairs and downstairs, the smell of ammonia was very overpowering and stung my eyes.”
Many of the dogs were underweight with their ribs, hips and spines visible through their fur. Their sleeping areas were covered in faeces.
Cruel breeder Olly Adegboyega kept dogs in squalor with little food or water
A deceased dog was found slumped up against the fencing of the dog run. Her only bedding was an old piece of damp soiled carpet.
When inspector Bradshaw moved her body it was apparent that something had eaten away part of her muzzle.
The six surviving dogs were examined by a vet and given treatment.
One of the dogs was extremely thin, had painful arthritis and numerous age-related health concerns The sad decision was made by a vet to put him to sleep to prevent him suffering further.
An expert vet who examined the dogs said in their evidence: “It is my opinion that these dogs were thin or emaciated due to malnutrition / starvation (simply lack of enough appropriate food).”
They added: “The emaciation and very thin body condition of all of the dogs was obvious despite their thick coats.
“The dogs were all suffering because of malnutrition / near starvation, and most had developed anaemia and detriment to their health.
“Had this situation continued their condition would have worsened further, eventually resulting in organ failure and death.”
They concluded that from the examination and blood results of these dogs, they suspect they have all suffered from malnutrition for at least six to twelve weeks and possibly longer.
The dogs had all been signed over into RSPCA care. They have since been rehomed by the RSPCA Lincolnshire Mid and Lincoln Branch.
In mitigation the defendant, who was unrepresented, said he had owned dogs for 15 years and that they had been a central part of his life. The dogs were all well socialised and friendly. He was said to have taken full responsibility and was devastated.
Sentencing | 12 weeks in prison, suspended for 12 months; costs of £1,504. Banned from keeping animals for 10 years.
We were first contacted about Olly Adegboyega as long ago as April 2019. The source was a former partner of his and told us he was a serial dog abuser, not to mention a perpetrator of domestic violence.
The source’s involvement with Adegboyega was in 2016 when she said he had six dogs whom he would “lock in cages, no food nor water for days on end when he went away”.
She added that he “was violent to me and hurt me so I had to walk away”.
The source contacted us again following Adegboyega’s prosecution and said:
I used to know this monster years ago . He had one of my dogs sister, a quality well bred GSD that was sadly one of the dogs that either died or was removed from him.
In my time knowing him, the dogs lived in their own urine and faeces – I reported him and also to his landlord when he stayed in West Yorkshire.
The RSPCA went out to his home but took no further action, but at this point they were not starved just living in shit.
I’m sure many women also will come forward to comment on here, as he was a womaniser, with many partners who did not know about each other. He used women financially and was violent
I’m devastated to read about the dogs , but glad they are all away from him. Two of the malamutes , one is named Smartie , originally came from a rescue.
He was an accountant with ASDA Wakefield.
He also lived in Wakefield, Kippax, and sub-let a property in Menai Bridge. He is from London with family in Wimbledon.
A total evil narcissist.
All of the above must of course be treated as allegations, but Adegboyega has the right of reply if he wishes to get in touch.
Update | November 2023
*We’ve received a tip-off that Adegboyega lives in Main Street, Shoby, Melton Mowbray LE14 3PJ.
CONVICTED (2023) | April Foulds, born c. 1991, of Drummond Road, Skegness PE25 3EH – breached a 10-year ban on keeping animals.
Foulds was given the 10-year disqualification order in December 2021 after being convicted of failing to take reasonable steps to meet the basic needs of animals. No details of the original conviction have been published online.
On 24 August 2022 police officers, acting on a tip-off, discovered two cats at Foulds’ home.
Prosecutor Lottie Tyler told magistrates : “Officers were unable to gain entry. They saw two cats that didn’t look malnourished,”
The cats were seized by the RSPCA on September 14, 2022.
Foulds, who admitting breaching the disqualification, said in interview that they had been bought by her then partner whom she lived with at the time.
Mike Alexander, mitigating, said his client had had some personal issues and an alcohol problem.
“[The former boyfriend] was responsible for getting the cats, despite her having the ban.
“He insisted they would be good for her mental health.
“He didn’t look after the cats and let her look after them. The cats were looked after but it was a situation effectively forced upon her.”
He added: “In the circumstances that she explained to me I don’t think she has a great culpability.”
Sentencing | 18-month conditional discharge; ordered to pay £121 in costs and victim surcharge. Original 10-year ban expires December 2031.
