An abuser found to have tormented two women during his relationships with them by beating them and subjecting them to physical and emotional cruelty has been jailed for four years.
A jury found Kevin Stuart McLaren guilty of nine charges relating to his conduct towards the women - said in court to have caused both of them “significant” psychological harm.
Perth Sheriff Court heard McLaren attacked one of the women twice when he knew she was pregnant with his child, knocked the other unconscious during another attack and beat both women so badly on occasions he put both their lives in danger.
