A businessman became embroiled in an ugly doorstep row with his ex-wife as he dropped off a bag of sweets for their daughter.
Simon Hayes was told to leave the treats on the doorstep of their £865,000 detached house on an exclusive cul-de-sac in Wilmslow, a court heard. But the 51-year-old instead began rowing with his former spouse and business partner and told her: "well you're scum, you're such a d**k'."
The seven-minute spat was captured on a mobile phone by the victim as the couple's daughter looked on, Warrington Magistrates' Court was told. Hayes' ex-wife subsequently filed a complaint to police.
