IN the midst of a bitter love triangle and paternity battle, Daniel Pettersson told his ex-partner that if he ever found Kevin Smith at her house at Jesmond then "it was on".
Mr Smith, 39, also known as "Squids", had made threats of his own, including threatening to kill Mr Pettersson, their rivalry fuelled by animosity about the overlap of their relationship with the woman and confusion surrounding who was the father of her young child.
