    EDWARD BELL AND ADAM EGGINTON FROM NECTON AND WORCESTER CONVICTED OF ILLEGAL FOX HUNTING IN NORFOLK AND WORCESTER

    In a significant legal development, two men associated with traditional fox hunting activities have been found guilty of illegal hunting practices in separate incidents across Norfolk and Worcester. Edward Michael Bell, born around 1993 and residing at West Norfolk Hunt Kennels in Necton, Swaffham, was convicted alongside Adam Egginton, born 15 May 2001, of Walls Grove, White-Ladies-Aston, Worcester. Both men were implicated in hunting wild mammals with dogs during two distinct events, breaching laws designed to protect wildlife from such cruel practices.

    Bell and Egginton, who served as hunt employees at the Necton kennels, faced charges after evidence emerged of their involvement in illegal fox hunting activities. The case was further complicated by the presence of other hunt officials, including joint hunt masters Andrew Thomas Kendall of Henstead, Suffolk, and Robert Edward Quintin Gurney of Bawdeswell, Norfolk. However, both Kendall and Gurney were acquitted of all charges, including those related to the illegal hunts and allegations of criminal damage caused by the dogs.

    The most disturbing incident took place on February 20, 2023, in Hingham, Norfolk. CCTV footage captured a distressing scene where a fox was violently torn apart by a pack of 38 hounds in a family’s backyard. The footage showed a man, whose identity remains undisclosed by the four men on trial, jumping over a fence to retrieve the carcass of the fox as riders on horseback waited nearby. The residents of the property expressed their distress in a victim impact statement, describing the scene as emotionally traumatic and describing the cleanup of the blood-stained patio, which included removing intestines, kidneys, and fox fur. The statement also highlighted the emotional toll on a young child who was exposed to the aftermath of the brutal attack.

    Further evidence from another hunt on February 8, 2023, at Tittleshall, revealed dogs actively pursuing a live fox, with footage showing the animals on the trail. Prosecutors argued that during both hunts, the dogs were dangerously out of control, causing criminal damage and resulting in the death of the fox. The case also involved a man who was seen removing the fox’s remains from the garden in Hingham; however, his identity remains unknown as all four defendants refused to disclose his name.

    District Judge Matthew Bone emphasized that the evidence proved beyond reasonable doubt that Bell and Egginton were aware of the presence of the fox and deliberately diverted the dogs towards it. The judge expressed particular disapproval of Bell, who is married with two children, stating that he and Egginton knew there was a fox and chose to hunt it anyway. The judge condemned the actions of the men, describing the scene in Hingham as utterly distasteful and affirming their criminal liability.

    In his sentencing remarks, Judge Bone criticized Bell directly, stating, “You should have known better. You hunted twice, and on the second occasion, an animal protected by law was killed by your actions. This law has been in place for nearly two decades, yet you chose to act unlawfully while ostensibly following trails.”

    Both Bell and Egginton were fined £500 for each offence, with additional court costs and victim surcharges bringing their total penalties to £1,700 each. The case underscores ongoing concerns about illegal fox hunting and the need for strict enforcement of wildlife protection laws in the UK.
