Woman who sent threatening messages to ex's dog on Facebook jailed

A woman who was banned from contacting her ex partner has appeared in court again after threatening to murder him via messages to his dog's Facebook account. Paula Higman, 38, appeared at Liverpool Crown Court on Thursday for breaching the terms of a suspended sentence handed to her in August 2021.

The defendant, of Sandringham, Sefton Park, breached a non-molestation order by sending threatening messages about killing her former partner, Mark Davies, to a Facebook account in the name of his dog. She also issued threats towards his mother, whom she referred to her as "rough" but said "she will be looking worse soon", the Liverpool Echo reports.

In August 2021, she was hit with the order in the family courts, which prevented her from able to contact Davies for one year. Recorder Tim Harrington ordered Higham to a one-year prison sentence, suspended for 18 months, and she was also told to complete 100 hours of unpaid work along with a 20-day rehabilitation activity requirement.
