Brian Whyte, 59, appeared at Falkirk Sheriff Court last Thursday having pleaded guilty to threatening behaviour and assault – seizing his partner by the throat, pushing her against a wall and repeatedly striking her head – at an address in Simpson Drive, Maddiston on June 25 last year.

He also admitted breaching his bail by contacting someone he was not supposed to at his 61 Montrose Road, Polmont home on May 3, 2021.

Sheriff Alison Michie deferred sentence on Whyte until December 22 for a psychiatric report.
