Leanne Houston, 34, and Stephen Kerr, 40, repeatedly struck the man with a knife and a hammer and demanded that he tell them the PIN number to his bank cards during various attacks in the week-long campaign of terror.
A former glamour model and her male accomplice spent a week subjecting a “broken man” to violent assaults so they could rob him of his inheritance, a court heard.
They also compelled him to buy items from shops for them. The pair also forced them to transfer money from his savings account into his current account. The pair forced the male to spend cash which he inherited after suffering a family bereavement. Prosecutor Alan Cameron KC revealed that the pair had convictions for previous offending. This prompted judge Alistair Watson to call for reports and remand the pair in custody ahead of a sentencing hearing next year.
“They had me tied to the chair for a few days. Leanne stabbed me in the arm repeatedly with a knife - a wee knife she got from the kitchen.” The man told the court that he eventually left the house and went to a branch of his bank in the city’s Byres Road to cancel his bank cards. He was concerned that the duo would continue to spend his money.
