A thug has been jailed after he accidentally left a voicemail on his probation officer's phone threatening to cut off his partner's head.
During the course of a weekend in May, violent Mark Oliver pulled a clump of his girlfriend's hair out and left her with bruising to her face after assaulting her at her Wallsend home. Officers were called to that incident and the 35-year-old was arrested.
However, on the Monday morning, Oliver's Probation officer returned to work and discovered he'd accidentally left her a voicemail message the day prior. In it, he could be heard shouting that he was going to "get a knife and chop [the victim's] head off", a court heard.
