Bull gores water-worker to death

A WATER-BOARD worker was yesterday gored to death by a bull which escaped from a field.

Wilson Cowan, 56, was taking samples beside a field near Pettinain in Lanarkshire. He is believed to have died from head injuries after a bull burst through a fence and trapped him between the fence and his van. Horrified onlookers tried to help Mr Cowan, from Abington, Lanarkshire, but he died at the scene. The animal is to be destroyed, police said.
