North-east man jailed for threatening partner with hammer and knife

Aberdeen Sheriff Court
Aberdeen Sheriff Court

A man who threatened his partner with a hammer and to slit her throat has been jailed for two years.

Harry Morrison attacked his partner at the time in a drunken rage on August 21 at her Aberdeen home.

The 32-year-old launched a sickening attack on the woman, seizing her by the body and threatening to assault her with a knife and hammer if she tried to leave the property. The thug also pushed and kicked her a number of times.

And Morrison also repeatedly covered the female’s mouth and nose with his hand, restricting her breathing, all to her injury.

Morrison, a prisoner of HMP Grampian, previously pled guilty to assault to injury.

Defence agent Ian Woodward-Nutt, at Aberdeen Sheriff Court, said the relationship was now at an end, adding his client had an alcohol problem and remembered little of the assault.

He added: “It’s fortunate that the injuries sustained by the complainer were minor.”

Sheriff William Summers said: “This is a serious assault. You wouldn’t let her leave the property and at one point you threatened her with a hammer and also threatened to slash her throat.”

He jailed Morrison for 24 months and granted a crown motion for a non-harassment order for three years.
