A drunken man who picked up a bread knife and threatened to 'slit' his terrified partner after threatening to kill her ex.
Mathew King later sent her messages which were 'peppered' with abuse and 'nasty' remarks, prosecutor Marte Alnaes told Leeds Crown Court this week. The 31-year-old admitted making threats to kill and harassment without violence. The court heard King and the woman had known each other since they were young but began a relationship in May 2022. On November 17, 2022, they were at her home in Osmondthorpe, along with her young son from a previous relationship, and King was in drink.
Having completed rehab with the counselling service, Forward Leeds, for his drink and drug problems, he began messaging the woman again in July 2023, threatening to come to her home. She also received over 100 calls from unknown numbers over the next four months. She ignored most, but on the occasions she did answer, it was King and she would hang up. King, of Hollyshaw Lane, Whitkirk, has three previous convictions for four offences, including ABH and drink driving.
