Scots car firebomb thug threatened to murder terrified couple with shotgun

A thug destroyed a couple’s car in a firebomb attack and threatened to murder them with a shotgun.

Steven Taylor targeted Colin and Lisa Henry after they put in CCTV and panic alarms in their home to protect themselves from him.

The couple had already been granted a court order which prevented Taylor, 34, from approaching them after he was twice convicted of harassing their relatives.

But Taylor continued his terror campaign and is now facing jail after admitting a number of offences at Kilmarnock Sheriff Court.

The court heard Taylor, of Ardrossan, Ayrshire, started a feud in 2018 with the Henrys when they lived in Irvine.

When they moved to Ardrossan, he targeted them there in March 2020.

Taylor will sentenced next month.
