A HORSE HAS died after allegedly being stabbed and sexually violated in Scotland.

Wright has offered a reward of £1000 (€1,400) to anyone who can provide information that leads to an arrest.

Police have launched an investigation into the incident.

In a statement, Police Scotland said: “We have received a complaint about an injury to a horse in New Pitsligo and we are investigating.”
