The girlfriend of South Shropshire Hunt master Otis Ferry has been bailed until the end of the week as police decide whether or not she will face charges for alleged “witness nobbling”.

Ferry, 26, of Eaton Mascott, is due to appear at Gloucester Crown Court on Friday for a progress hearing on his case.

Francesca Nimmo, Ferry’s 22-year-old girlfriend, Adrian Simpson, 53, the Welsh regional director of the Countryside Alliance, and a third person will all report back on police bail on the same day to find out whether they will be charged in connection with the case.

Ferry and John Deutsch, 55, face charges of taking a hunt monitor’s camera and assaulting her at a meeting of the Heythrop Hunt, Gloucestershire, in 2007.

Ferry, who is the son of rock star Bryan Ferry and the joint master of the South Shropshire Hunt, is also accused of perverting the course of justice by telling his former groom David Hodgkiss not to give evidence against him when he was due to stand trial on the robbery and assault charges last September.

The trial had to be aborted when the “witness nobbling” allegations were made and Ferry spent four months in custody before being bailed at the start of the year.

Deutsch made a preliminary appearance at Gloucester Crown Court last week on the robbery and assault charges.
