A father-of-three has been sentenced for possessing two dead birds of prey which were stuffed under the door handles of a village shop alongside 50 dead hares, in what a prosecutor described as a “horror movie scene”.
James Kempster, who lives at a caravan site in Totton, Southampton, was convicted following a trial at Southampton Magistrates’ Court of two counts of possessing a dead bird under the Wildlife and Countryside Act.
