The 'instantly recognisable' Sycamore Gap tree was cut down and two men, Daniel Graham, 38, and Adam Carruthers, 31, are accused of causing £622,191 worth of damage to the tree and a further £1,144 to Hadrian's Wall.
A district judge has said that the case of two men accused of cutting down the famous Sycamore Gap tree is too serious for magistrates' court, and must be dealt with at the crown court. Daniel Graham, 38, of Milbeck Stables, Carlisle, and Adam Carruthers, 31, of Church Street, Wigton, Cumbria, are accused of causing over half a million pounds worth of damage to the much-loved tree.
' Now, the two men will attend Newcastle Crown Court on 12 June for their next hearing after they were both granted unconditional bail. Earlier, the judge said: 'I am well aware that feelings are running high in respect to this case. Everyone, however, must remain silent.' During the hearing, Rebecca Brown, prosecuting, said the tree was 'instantly recognisable'.
