But not under the age of criminal responsibility (10 years old) - if it transpires he is the person who did it

Under 17 dealt with by a youth court? and probably a lesser sentence?
Almost as if an adult might know this allegedly...

I meant he wouldn't be tried as an adult and would receive a far more lenient sentence IF he is soley responsible, which I have my doubts about.
Could be wrong but it isn't a one man job for a 16 year old.

Sheep?
Can assure you youth sentencing is not a lenient option. Which form of sentence depends on if they have any past offering.
The least they'd face I'd expect is a 12 month youth referral order, What that order will contain will be down to a youth referral order panel. Made up of local volunteers like me. None compliance to any of it and it's back to panel with a number of options open to panel. Inc referring back to court with recommendations. That are normal carried out.

There's always one, isn't there...
As someone who does a lot of work with a petrol-powered chainsaw, I can safely say that's been done with a much larger industrial / professional saw than the one I use (Stihl 161C) by someone - or several someones - who know how to handle such. It takes real skill to drop such a large tree in one go.
And more than a bit of idiocy as well, because a tree surgeon will dismantle something like this from the top down to make sure it comes down safely.

Bloody dangerous.
Just look how at far the trunk has moved from the stump.

They have said it was done by someone with a sharp good quality saw who knew what they were doing
