A woman has told a court that her former partner made a post on social media threatening the assassination of Scotland’s First Minister Nicola Sturgeon.
William Curtis, 70, is on trial accused of sending threatening messages to Ms Sturgeon and sending or causing a threatening message to be sent to former MSP Stewart Stevenson.
Prosecutor Chris McKenna asked Mrs Gould whose Facebook profile it came from, to which she replied “William’s”. The message also contained a YouTube video link with reference to former Labour MP Jo Cox, who was murdered by a far-right extremist.Curtis, who is on trial at the High Court in Glasgow, denies all charges against him and has lodged a special defence of incrimination, claiming someone else committed the allegations involving Mr Stevenson.
Cross-examining Mrs Gould, Curtis’s defence agent Gareth Jones KC said the 70-year-old had his own black Vodafone and his own laptop. He is further accused of allegedly sending or causing a message to be sent through social media on March 9 2019 to Stewart Stevenson MSP which threatened him and contained a link to a video relating to the murder of the MP Jo Cox.
