Rescued colt found 'bludgeoned' to death in vicious attack *warning: very graphic image*

A rescue horse has been found “bludgeoned” to death in a vicious attack thought to have been carried out with a metal stake in Yeovil.

Paddy, a skewbald colt, was found tied to a metal gate by a member of the public in a quiet area off Lyde Road, near Pen Mill Industrial Estate, on Saturday morning (16 March).

A spokesman for the RSPCA said the member of public who came across the “horrific” scene alerted the police and the charity after finding Paddy with a head wound and initially thinking he had been shot.
