A Scots businessman threatened to “kneecap” a horse trader after claiming he sold him a lame nag.
Lee Concannon, 31, from Hamilton, had bought the animal for £4000 from the trader based in north-west England. But after picking up the horse, Concannan claimed it had serious arthritis and he would need to spend a fortune in vet bills.
After demands for a refund were refused, he sent a threatening message to the trader saying he would be “kneecapped in front of his wife and children”. Messages were sent from an unknown number on three successive days.
