Kerry Whitburn, John Smith, John Ablewhite and Josephine Mayo were described by the judge as "determined and cold-blooded defenders of their perceived cause". The relentless campaign ended when the remains of 82-year-old Gladys Hammond - the mother-in-law of one of the brothers who owns a guinea pig farm - were dug up. and removed under cover of darkness. The David Hall and Partners' Darley Oaks Farm, in Newchurch, was involved in breeding guinea pigs used in bio-medical research Residents near the Staffordshire farm said they were relieved to hear the defendants were likely to face lengthy jail terms. Peter Clamp, a former parish councillor from nearby Newborough who organised a legal campaign to protect the community from extremists, described the guilty pleas as "brilliant news" but said residents would not rest until her remains were returned. The 52-year-old surveyor said: "I am pleased it's come to this but it still hasn't put a conclusion on the remains and where they are." |
