Stuart Campbell Edmondson appeared in court on Tuesday on charged of murder & attempted murder, after a shooting on his property in which one man - Kevin Mark Mabbott - lost his life. Edmondson's arrest leaves the future of hundreds of semi-wild pigs, which he cared for on the property, in flux. A Give A Little page set up to raise money for the pigs, and Edmondson's legal fees, has already raised a large amount in a short time.
