FINNLY HAWKINS-SMITH TERRORIZES EX-PARTNER IN ABERFELDY AND NEWTON ABBOT
In June 2025, a disturbing case of harassment and threats unfolded involving Finnly Hawkins-Smith, a 24-year-old man whose actions spanned across Aberfeldy in Perthshire and later moved to Newton Abbot. The sequence of events began after Hawkins-Smith’s relationship with his former partner ended in September 2024, leading to a prolonged period of intimidation and aggressive behavior that caused significant distress to the woman involved.Hawkins-Smith openly admitted to engaging in a sustained pattern of intimidation, refusing to vacate the woman’s residence in Aberfeldy despite her repeated pleas for him to find alternative accommodation. His refusal persisted for weeks, during which his conduct grew increasingly threatening and violent. The woman, feeling increasingly unsafe, eventually sought refuge with her sister, fearing for her safety due to Hawkins-Smith’s escalating hostility.
Throughout this two-month ordeal, Hawkins-Smith’s behavior deteriorated from mere refusal to leave shared spaces to issuing explicit violent threats. On one notable occasion, when the woman threatened to call the police, Hawkins-Smith calculated aloud that the police response time in the area averaged 22 minutes. He then boasted that he could set her house ablaze in 17 minutes, leaving himself five minutes to do whatever he pleased. His threats were not limited to words; on another occasion, he ominously warned, “You have no idea what I’m capable of.”
Despite her efforts to escape the situation, Hawkins-Smith returned days later to collect his belongings. During this visit, he produced a two-foot metal crossbow from a wardrobe. Although initially unloaded, he loaded a bolt and aimed it first at a wall, then at his ex-partner’s leg. He taunted her about her “self-preservation instinct,” claiming that the weapon “wouldn’t kill you… at least not on the first bolt.” His actions culminated in him demanding she delete a recording she had made of his earlier threats, before he finally left the premises.
Following these events, Hawkins-Smith appeared before Perth Sheriff Court. Fiscal Depute Lissie Cooke described the victim as “terrified and apprehensive,” emphasizing that she had recorded incidents on her phone as evidence of his threats. The defense acknowledged that provocation had played a role in their four-year relationship but did not attempt to justify or excuse the abusive behavior.
Sheriff Andrew Berry sentenced Hawkins-Smith to a community-based penalty, opting against imprisonment. He ordered him to complete 135 hours of unpaid work and placed him under one year of supervision. Additionally, Hawkins-Smith was issued a two-year non-harassment order, which mandates that he stay at least 200 metres away from his ex-partner. The woman retains the right to pursue an indefinite civil order if she chooses to do so, further emphasizing the seriousness of the case and the need for ongoing protection.
