Surrey police are urging people to identify whoever is responsible for the deaths.

The lambs all had visible teeth marks from a dog and had been cut by a knife.

They were killed on three separate occasions, twice in a field in Tandridge Lane between 3.30pm on the 31st of July and 10am on August the first; and between 7pm on the 6th of July and 12.41pm on July 7th.

The third instance was at a field in Moor Lane, Edenbridge at 11.15am on July 9th.

The investigating officer PC Alice Bennett says that they appear to be deliberate attacks and are incredibly upsetting for the farmers.

Ebola scare at Gatwick Airport

After fears that Ebola could have reached Gatwick over the weekend, test results of an elderly woman who died at the airport came back negative for the contagious virus.

The female passenger who travelled to the UK from the Gambia collapsed at Gatwick airport and was later pronounced dead in hospital.

Public Health England says the risk of the deadly Ebola virus in the UK remains very low and that the test was only carried out as a precaution.

Over 700 people have died of Ebola in Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia this year in the worst ever outbreak of the disease.
