Frightened Glasgow woman warned by ex he'd cut her throat and kill her friends

A thug bombarded his ex-girlfriend with phone calls and hurled threats in earshot of police officers.

John Paul Campbell, 37, turned on Kirsty Lee Wynne at a property in Glasgow's Wellhouse earlier this year.

Campbell made 114 phone calls to Miss Wynne which included verbal abuse. Officers who later attended the property then heard on call from Campbell where he stated he to "rip" peoples' heads off.

Campbell pled guilty at Glasgow Sheriff Court to engaging in a course of conduct which was the abuse of a partner or ex-partner on May 22.

He also admitted breaching a non-harassment order.

The court heard the pair had been in a relationship for 14 years and split two years prior to the incident.

A court order was made on May 10, 2022 for Campbell not to contact her.

He ignored the non-harassment order six days later as Campbell called and text Miss Wynne looking to rekindle their relationship.

Campbell attended a children's park later that day and approached Miss Wynne.

Prosecutor Emma Baker said: "He shouted at her calling her a cow and a s*** and stated that she had been sleeping around, all in front of children."

He also made a threat to "punch your c*** in."

The following day, Campbell attended Miss Wynne's aunt's house uninvited.

He again called the victim a "cow" and lunged towards her.

Police attended the property Miss Wynne was staying at on May 22.

She told officers that she had recorded calls and played them which included threats to set her aunt's house on fire.

He also stated he would slit Miss Wynne's throat and kill her friends.

Miss Baker added: "She told officers that since 10am that day, 114 in total were from Campbell.

"He repeatedly threatened Miss Wynne and called her things such as a cow and a boot.

"While officers were there, Miss Wynne answered a call from Campbell and put it on loud speaker.

"He said 'Coming through every c***s door the night and rip every one of their heads off, I'm at your house now'."

Wynne told the officers that she was frightened and wanted Campbell to stop.

She was woken up the following day by Campbell shouting through the letterbox: "Don't worry ya cow, I'll get you tomorrow."

Police were contacted and Campbell was traced.

Sentence was deferred pending background reports until later this month by Sheriff Brian Cameron.

Campbell, who appeared from custody, had his remand continued meantime.
