Farming company to stand trial after grandma crushed to death by stampeding cow

A farming company has pleaded not guilty to a health and safety offence after a primary school teacher from Tameside was killed by a cow while on holiday. Marian Clode died while on an Easter break in Northumberland with her family on April 3, 2016.

They were staying at a holiday cottage at Swinhoe Farm, around two miles north west of the village of Belford. Ms Clode, 61, is said to have been killed by a stampeding cow.

Alistair Nixon, 62, appeared at Newcastle Crown Court and pleaded not guilty on behalf of the partnership, ChronicleLive reports. Judge Paul Sloan KC set a trial date for November 27 next year with a time estimate of eight days. Ms Clode, a primary school teacher, had been on holiday with her husband Christopher, daughter Lucy, son in law Kevin and two grandchildren, aged seven and eight. In a statement at the time Mrs Clode’s family said the mother-of-three was a 'hardworking and dedicated teacher', who 'lived for her family' and 'adored and doted on her four grandchildren'.
