Swan slayer strikes again

TWO more swans have been killed in the latest of a series of grisly slayings.

They were found a week apart at two lakes where seven other swans and a goose have been killed since November.

One had its head cut off and a “shepherd’s hook” was found nearby, said Paul West, 49, part of a patrol group against the attacks in Thamesmead, South East London.

He said: “I think whoever is doing this used the hook to get the swan and pull it.”
