A Liverpool man who bombarded his former partner with vile messages threatening to slash her face and douse her with acid has been jailed.
Paul Ball also threatened to shoot the woman, destroy her sentimental jewellery, attack her under the cover of darkness and in front of her children.
The 42-year-old also threatened to get social services to take her young child and set her home on fire. His victim told Liverpool Crown Court, “No eight-year-old should ask, ‘nan what would acid do to mummy’s face?’"
