A mum who ‘loved to be outside’ with her dog has been trampled to death by a herd of cows.
But cottage owner John Turner later that day was stunned to see Archie had made his way back without Ms McKellar, leading him to call 999 and look for her.Ms McKellar’s body was discovered by Scriddles Croft Farm owner David Towler. As he went outside on the morning of September 26 as he had done so many times, Mr Towler noticed a bag of grass.Emergency services pronounced her dead at the scene, with detectives noting she had several injuries consistent with being trampled by cattle.
He’s never had any incidents about the cows’ temperament either. ‘They can be quite protective when they have calves but only in the first few weeks; these calves were around five months old,’ Mr Towler added. But even if it were still up, it was unlikely Ms McKellar would have seen it anyway as she came from a different gate, the inspector said.The HSE concluded Mr Towler followed all guidance around farmers keeping the public safe from livestock but ordered him to fence off the public footpath.Ms McKellar’s son Andy said his mum was a ‘fiercely independent woman who loved tennis, walking and baking.
