A WOMAN suffered more than two years of “a very abusive relationship” in Tillicoultry, including physical assaults.

The offender was Mohammad Liaqat, 35, who has appeared at Alloa Sheriff Court with a translator for sentencing.

Liaqat, of Leslie Street, Glasgow, admitted that between July 21 in 2021 and October 9 last year at his home, Hareburn Road, Tillicoultry and elsewhere, he engaged in an abusive course of conduct towards his partner.

He repeatedly accused her of infidelity, shouted at her, repeatedly telephoned her and sent her messages in which he made abusive, sexual and threatening remarks, made threats, repeatedly referred to her in abusive and derogatory terms, bit her on the body, pushed her on to a bed and punched her on the head to her injury.

Sheriff William Gilchrist told Liaqat: “This was clearly a very abusive relationship and it’s quite clear from the social work report that there is a need for intervention here.”
