Farmers from the Burton farm have known Liam Brown since he was a child

In his statement, the Prosecutor Lawyer Charles Nightingale explained that his client was familiar with Brown and his family. He said that the Brown family had been regularly employed at the farm since Liam was just a child. Nightingale added:

"The family who own the farm want (Liam Brown) nowhere near it."

Magistrates at the court stated that they were passing the case to the crown court as "the offense is so serious" that Liam needed a greater punishment than they could give.

Defending lawyer, Harry Price-Smith also agreed that the sentencing should be given at the crown court. He added that Liam Brown was released on unconditional bail after finding his records clean and he had not returned to the farm since the incident.

Liam's sentencing is scheduled for September 22, 2023, at the Bournemouth Crown Court.
