Sheep's head found buried on allotment among potatoes as authorities investigate alleged animal slaughter

An allotment holder is being evicted from their plot amid allegations sheep have been slaughtered on the land and a sheep's head buried in a neighbouring potato patch.

The committee which manages Ely Great Farm allotments in Dyfrig Road, Cardiff, warned plotholders earlier this week that animal slaughter appeared to have been taking place on one of the plots. Cardiff Council, which owns the 170-plot community garden, is in the process of evicting the allotment holder believed to be responsible.

WalesOnline understands that the practice was discovered after another plotholder found a severed sheep's head buried above their potatoes. The head's ear appeared to contain a tag.
