Beccles man said he would kill woman over pro-migrant post

A man has narrowly avoided prison for threatening to kill a woman after she posted a message on social media in support of migrants entering the country.

Jack Adamson, 26, sent messages saying he would slit her throat and that of her partner.

Norwich Magistrates’ Court heard the threats followed a Facebook post on September 19 in which she expressed her backing for migrants coming to Britain.

Adamson, of Castle Hill, Beccles – who was already banned from contacting her partner – then sent messages both to him and his girlfriend.

As well as the threatening to kill both of them, he also wrote that: “All Muslims should have their head hung from a tree.”

Adamson pleaded guilty to three charges: breaching a restraining order, using a public communication network to cause annoyance, and sending a communication threatening death or serious harm.

Magistrates imposed a 26-week jail term, suspended for two years, and ordered him to pay a £154 victim surcharge.

The restraining order was also reimposed for a further two years.
