Peter Clarke, 41, repeatedly lashed out at Stacy Clarke, 39, at their family home. Clarke hurled abuse at his wife of nine years and claimed that she was having an affair.
A man who brutally attacked his wife and hid a tiny camera inside their Sky TV box walked free from court yesterday .
Clarke was found guilty by a jury at Glasgow Sheriff Court of engaging in a course of behaviour which was abusive of his partner or ex-partner. "That curtails the sentence I was going to impose and the author comments that the other sentence that can be imposed is a robust community payback order so they can work with you.
The witness claimed that she frequently visited the GP and was on anti-depressants at the time due to the ordeal. Stacy stated that the first time Clarke was violent towards her was following a row over a holiday in front of a child in August 2021.She said: "He started punching me on the ribs and threw me on the bed. He was punching my ribs saying 'this is abuse, Stacy'.
She said: "He grabbed me by the hair and threw me face down on the bed - I thought he was going to kill me." Prosecutor Lauren Donnelly asked the witness how she felt and she replied: "Just horrified. I didn't know you could book lie detector tests."
