Whilst we’re in the bounds of wild, unsubstantiated speculation I’ll have a punt....

 

What if estate owner is a senior figure in the trouser leg funny handshake brigade and there is a historic persecution of anything that presents any real or imagined threat to the obscene practice of raising dumb birds that will boost the ego of inadequate morons with shotguns and, since this single tree was identified as a the only priority requirement for immediate felling, and the daft labourer was despatched as the fall guy, and the Chief constable is a grand moose and a regular lunch guest at said estate and intervened so as to avoid any heat or light falling upon the real guilty party....?

 

Like I say, just a wild unsubstantiated stab in the dark. Funny how it seems (to me) to have a greater ring of credibility than the report.....

 

 

In my totally imaginary made up story the chief constable is a keen shooting man 😁
