Two men convicted of cutting down the beloved Sycamore Gap tree were suspects in a probe into alleged homophobic assaults, it has been reported.
Last week, groundworker Daniel Graham, 39, and mechanic Adam Carruthers, 32, were found guilty of two counts of criminal damage in September 2023 – one to the much-photographed tree in Northumberland and one to Hadrian’s Wall, which was damaged when the sycamore fell on it.
