Not So Kean Now: Another Cottesmore Hunt Thug Convicted
A hunt thug left Leicester Magistrates Court yesterday with a two year restraining order, following a prolonged campaign of violence and intimidation against hunt sabs.
Andrew Kean, was facing two charges of assault by beating, and one charge of common assault, while his sidekick, Barrington Nurse-Phillips, was facing two charges of common assault.
The charges related to incidents at the opening meet of the Cottesmore Hunt at Knossington, Leicestershire, in October 2024, while both men were acting as so-called ‘hunt stewards.’
