66-YEAR-OLD MAN JAILED FOR THREATENING TO MURDER WIFE IN FRONT OF POLICE
A 66-year-old man named Raymond Yardy has been sentenced to prison after threatening his wife both verbally and physically.
The incident occurred on June 13, prompting police to visit his home on Coneygree Road following reports of a violent altercation.
Officers discovered Yardy was upset over his wife’s dogs ruining the carpet and accused her of alcoholism.
The situation escalated when Yardy placed his hands around his wife’s neck and threatened to kill her before pulling her back into their residence.
He told officers, "if you don’t arrest me, I’ll murder her," and offered himself for arrest, holding out his hands.
Yardy pleaded guilty to making threats to kill during proceedings at Peterborough Crown Court and was sentenced to one year and eight months behind bars.
PC Ryan Grist, who led the investigation, commented that Yardy’s behavior revealed a capacity for violence and a disregard for remorse.
He warned that had Yardy not been jailed, his wife might have faced further abuse.
The report also mentions support services available for those affected by domestic violence, including the Samaritans helpline.
