8 Unbelievable UK Court Cases

7. You Can't Slurry Love

Cow slurry, for the benefit of those unfamiliar with country life, is a heady mix of manure and water which is used for fertilizer. For the vast majority of us, slurry should be avoided at all costs. But for one Cornwall man a local pit became a personal paradise due to his fetish for rolling about in it. It's thought he first began visiting the farm in 2006 and liked the ambiance so much it became a regular haunt for the next eight years. In the beginning he stuck to a takeaway service by collecting cow pats for home use, then he decided he needed that extra-special kick so started rollicking naked on site. Neither bollards nor jail managed to deter the world's most unwanted trespasser and in desperation the farmers eventually removed the slurry from their land. In revenge the manure man set fire to their shed, enclosures and tractor. Unsurprisingly he was once again detained at Her Majesty's Pleasure. But the grudge he held against the fed-up farmers remained unspent when he was released. In May this year he was sent back for a third slurry related stretch after admitting he threatened to kill the family who had cut off his dung supply. The judge ordered the prisoner receive medical help while behind bars.
