Officers say it was a "possible incident of sheep worrying" after an "attack by an unknown animal".

The agriculture minister has ordered that laboratory costs will be met by the department for a limited time.

A 65-year-old is charged with being in charge of a dog dangerously out of control causing injury.

Born on 16 December last year in Indian-administered Kashmir, the sheep has been named Tarmeem.

Maidstone Borough Council says the trial offers a sustainable alternative to traditional mowing.
