Apart from young people fornicating in the bushes or breaking into the numerous garden sheds that cover the ten-acre site and crops being stolen or damaged, very little of interest ever happened. There had been one unusual problem during the spring of 2001 – a keen plot-holder had taken to racing along the tracks that divide the allotments on his tractor. This had caused his fellow gardeners to become so concerned that they had strategically placed metal spikes in an upright position along the track to prevent him from driving at speed. In a rage, the man had attempted to manoeuvre his machine through the slalom of spikes, but had failed miserably. The plot-holders had found the punctured tyres on the disabled tractor extremely amusing. Its owner, however, failed to see the funny side of the trap and had abandoned his plot in protest shortly afterwards. On the morning of Wednesday, 28 February 2001 at approximately 9.20 Colin Todd and a colleague were walking along one of the spike-laden tracks when they came across the lifeless body of 24-year-old Dean Fergus Boshell.
