He was not his.

The photos quickly appeared in a national newspaper showing that the police looking for Renwick’s Northumberland house and a saw was removed.

“This was a heartbreaker,” Mr. Renwick said.

“There were police everywhere, drones flying around the valley, divers in the lake, 100% confident that I did this.

“When I shopped with Haltwhist or Hexham, people were dragging each other and they said, ‘He cut the tree down,’ things like that.”
