A 56-year-old man from Devon failed to check on the welfare of his tortoises, a court hears.

A man has admitted dumping 10 dead giant tortoises in a Devon forest after a heat lamp keeping them warm failed.

Priddle also admitted failing to meet the needs of the animals between 23 and 29 December as he did not check their daily welfare or a heating system, which failed, leading to their deaths. The judge said Priddle had "ignored his responsibility" to the animals and had not checked on them during that period, leading to their deaths due to the cold conditions at that time of year.

The court heard further tortoise carcasses had been found in various locations on 11, 12 and 13 January and on 11 March.
