Cow stampede death fireman sentenced

Julian Lawford, a fireman who admitted causing the death of Mr Lee after his cattle were startled by the fire engine's siren has been spared jail. Exeter Crown Court pleaded him guilty in December.

Julian pleaded guilty by carelessly driving at his trail in August 2009. Mr Lee was killed as he was walking with the cows along a country road near his home. Lawford was given a four month suspended sentence, and was banned from driving for twelve months. Judge Justice Roderick Evans told Julian he was not considering an immediate custodial sentence, releasing him on conditional bail.
