Poacher uses Godfather threat after he was caught in act at farm

An angler threatened to recreate the decapitated horse's head scene from The Godfather movie to terrorise a wealthy landowner after being caught poaching at a farm.

Paul Darlington, 36, issued the chilling warning to Thomas Canning as he was led off the site for illegally fishing rainbow trout.

Chester Magistrates’ Court heard he told the married father of two: “We know you have got donkeys. We will come back in the night and kill them.

He was told to pay £200 compensation to the couple and £100 to their son Sean.
