Men who cut down England’s beloved Sycamore Gap tree sentenced to more than 4 years in prison
NORTHUMBERLAND, ENGLAND, JUL 15 – The men acted deliberately in the middle of the night and filmed their actions, causing damage to Hadrian's Wall and sparking widespread condemnation, authorities said.
- On Tuesday, Judge Christina Lambert sentenced the two men to four years and three months each for cutting down the Sycamore Gap tree.
- Last month, Graham and Carruthers were convicted of traveling in September 2023 to fell the tree with a chainsaw, out of 'sheer bravado', court records show.
- They filmed their act described as a `moronic mission`, and investigators found a 2-minute and 41-second video showing the tree being cut down at 12.30am on September 28, which had been sent to Carruthers, with the destruction taking less than three minutes.
- The judge Christina Lambert said the crime stemmed from `sheer bravado`, and they were also convicted of criminal damage to Hadrian’s Wall.
- Last week, Northumberland National Park said the largest part of the tree will go on display near its original site, and the National Trust noted signs of life at the base could help it live on.
