Spurned woman threatened to kill ex partner's new girlfriend during 'campaign of harassment'

A spurned woman obsessively harassed her ex boyfriend's new girlfriend and threatened to kill her for "taking what was hers". She turned up at the woman's house and tried to break in and posted threatening messages about her on social media.

Abigail Clark, 30, of Caerphilly, terrorised her victim who feared for her life during a "campaign of harassment" in which abuse was hurled at her and dozens of phone calls made. When told to stop, the defendant would reply "Don't ask me to stop because it won't happen.... What girl steals a man from another girl".

A sentencing hearing at Cardiff Crown Court on Thursday heard Clark became incensed after her boyfriend of nine years ended their relationship and began another relationship with the victim days later. Prosecutor Rachel Knight said Clark could not accept the relationship was over and harrased the victim with "rigour".
