He has been sent to prison a month after being released after he made multiple threats to kill his ex-partner
A man has been sent back to jail a month after being released, after he made multiple threats to kill his ex-partner. Robbie Grant, 27, attended the home of his former partner on May 13, despite a restraining order which prevented him from contacting or visiting her.
After an argument between the pair broke out, Grant left the victim’s home, but called her mobile soon after, telling her he was going to put her “six feet under”. During the phone call, Grant also described how he was going to arrange for his friend who owned a shotgun to visit the victim, leaving her fearing for her life.
The threats were reported to police and on May 15, when officers contacted Grant, he made further threats about harming and killing the victim to police. He was arrested at a hotel in Peterborough later the same day.
At Peterborough Crown Court on Tuesday (June 23), Grant, of Drayton Road, Norwich, Norfolk was jailed for three years and ten months after admitting to making threats to kill and intimidating a witness / juror.
DC Roberto Scialla Cooper, who investigated, said: “Grant’s barrage of threats to hurt and kill the victim left her fearful for her life. Grant’s behaviour was completely unacceptable, and I hope this sentence allows the victim to move on with her life.
