A thug with an attitude that ‘belongs in the Stone Age’ grabbed his ex by the neck and threatened to kill her so ‘nobody else could have her’. Michael O’Neill, 37, met the woman on Facebook while he was in prison and the pair entered into a relationship.
It continued when he was released last year, but turned sour. He became controlling and abusive.
O’Neill repeatedly checked her phone, made threats to kill her and even threatened to throw acid in her face so ‘nobody else would want her’, Minshull Street Crown Court heard.
