Daniel Gunter, 25, and Sophie Staddon, 20, have been charged with the murder of baby Brendon Staddon at Yeovil District Hospital in Somerset on March 5 this year. The parents, who have no definite address, have been charged with the cause or encouraging Brendon's death. According to the allegation, 'being a member of the same household and having regular contact with Brendon, they either caused his death or did not shield him from a foreseeable 'high risk of physical harm.' Both were excused from attending a brief hearing at Bristol Crown Court.

The Somerset Gimp is said to have terrorized locals for months by crawling around the floor and making threatening sounds late at night before being unveiled. Joshua Hunt, 32, of pf Claverham, was found guilty of frightening female motorists walking home at night by dressing in a black gimp suit. On the evening of May 7 and shortly after midnight on May 9th this year, bizarre events took place in rural Somerset near Bleadon, near Weston-super-Mare. However, Hunt had previously been jailed on suspicion of causing a public nuisance following a string of other 'gimp' incidents in the Cleeve, Claverham, and Yatton areas of the county last year, according to Avon and Somerset Police. Many of these people were also seen rolling around the ground and making threatening noises towards people who had been late at night. However, detectives said that insufficient evidence meant no further action could be taken in connection with those charges. Hunt was found guilty of two offences under the Public Order Act of causing deliberate harassment, alarm, or distress in connection with the Bleadon offenses today. At Bristol Magistrates' Court, District Judge Joanna Dickens fined Hunt £100 and ordered him to pay £200 to each of his victims plus £620 in court fees. Hunt had apologised and served one month in jail for her remand, according to her.

A man accused of leaping out on two women dressed in latex appeared in court this morning for his trial. Joshua Hunt, 32, appeared in Bristol Magistrates' Court today on charges that he leapt out at the stunned victims while wearing a rubber gimp outfit. Under section four of the Public Order Act, Hunt, of Claverham, Somerset, has denied two charges of putting someone in danger of provocation or violence. In the Bleadon and Cleeve areas of the county, the defendant, who is on bail, reportedly assaulted the two lone females on May 7 and 9.

According to a judge, a man suspected of being the 'Somerset Gimp' (left) must not 'crawl, wriggle, or writhe on the ground' ahead of his appeal. According to Section 4(a) of the Public Order Act, the perpetrator, Joshua Hunt (right), 32, denies two allegations of deliberate harassment, alarm, or distress. It's because Judge Angela Breton, who is a judge at Taunton Deane Magistrates' Court, has scheduled a half-day trial for the lawsuit at Bristol Magistrates' Court on October 27. The charges relate to incidents that may have occurred in the Bleadon and Cleeve areas of Somerset between May 7 and May 9. Hunt is also forbidden from wearing a mask or carrying one in a public place, and wearing black all-in-one clothing at night in public, as a result of the interim order, which will expires in January next year.
