A sacked employee told his former boss he would 'chop his head off' and trash his premises after a row over holiday pay.
Christopher Longworth, 34, had been employed by Speke Fencing and Gates and his vandalism rampage caused £15,000 worth of damage and put jobs at risk.
The dad-of-two made threats to his former boss, Michael Lynch, including one which said: “I want my holiday payments. If I don’t get them I’ll come down and chop your head off and cut your throat.”
