Farmer who contaminated baby food jars with metal in £1.4m blackmail plot guilty
A FARMER laced Tesco baby food with metal to leave tots' "bellies cut and bleeding" in a £1.4million blackmail plot.
He signed off as the fictional character "Guy Brush" and "the Dairy Pirates" - claiming to be part of a cohort of farmers angry at the low price they were paid for their milk.Morven Smith had already given some of the food to her ten-month-old in Lockerbie when she spotted "something shiny" in the bowl.Credit: SWNS:South West News Service
He was also convicted of a further charge of blackmail for demanding £150,000 worth of Bitcoin from a driver with whom he had had a road rage altercation. He then placed the marked-up jar containing metal on a shelf before calmly strolling through the aisles to pick up wine and flowers for his teacher wife.
