A man has died and a woman has been left permanently paralysed after being attacked by cows whilst out for a walk.
Husband and wife Michael and Teresa Holmes were out for an afternoon stroll when they were attacked by the animals.
Michael 57, was tragically pronounced dead after being left with 35 rib fractures as well as a lacerated heart. Teresa was airlifted to hospital and spent six months recovering. Her spinal cord was damaged and she will now never walk again following the horrific incident in September 2020.
Now the farmer who was responsible for the land has appeared in court accused of health and safety breaches. Martin Mitchell admitted breaching the Health & Safety at Work Act and was given a suspended six-month jail term after prosecutors said he'd failed to ensure cows with calves were suitably segregated from the public footpath, reports Wales Online.
The court was told how the Leeds couple, who had been married for 34 years, regularly walked the route during their lunch breaks as they worked from home during lockdown. On the day of the attack, in September 2020, they were walking their daughter's dogs on Hollinghurst Farm in Netherton, Wakefield, West Yorkshire.
As there were signs warning dog walkers to keep their animals on a lead they thought it would be safe to travel through the field only to be attacked. CCTV footage shows how the cows "accelerated" towards them.
They were both knocked to the ground but the dogs escaped and were found by a neighbour who raised the alarm. Michael died at the scene and Teresa, who was knocked unconscious in the incident, woke in hospital a week later to be told her husband died.
