A businessman bullied and abused his wife for almost 10 years with a catalogue of abuse.
James McAteer threw food at the frightened woman, threatened to break her teeth and called her derogatory names during their turbulent marriage.
The Lanarkshire flooring store boss was in the dock at Hamilton Sheriff Court this week where details of his vicious behaviour were laid bare, the Daily Record reports. On one occasion McAteer was furious at being given fajitas for dinner and tossed the meal in his grieving wife's face, as she tried to compose a eulogy for her dead uncle.
