A man who walked free from court after threatening to set his ex-girlfriend on fire went on to murder her two weeks later.
Robert Massey screamed vile abuse at Jacqueline Forest after attempting to kick down her front door in mid-august, the Liverpool Echo reports.
Just 17 days later, he strangled Jacqueline to death before stabbing her and writing insults all over her body with a pen. The 43-year-old defendant had been in a relationship with the 49-year-old victim, who was known to loved ones as Jaki, since the summer of 2020 and had stayed at her home on Piele Road in Haydock, Liverpool Crown Court heard.
