Sorsby and Ward also face allegations that they caused grievous bodily harm to Angela Kirkland and actual bodily harm to her daughter Donna Kirkland, also at Ash Tree Farm on November 28.

All three were sent for trial at Lincoln Crown Court for a preliminary hearing on July 12. They were allowed conditional bail.
