A jilted partner torched his ex's car then threatened to set fire to the house where she lived with her children.
At around 6pm on February 26, 2022, Whittam messaged the woman and threatened to set fire to her car. Two hours later she looked outside to see her vehicle ablaze. The inside of the car was completely destroyed and the exterior was extensively damaged, Preston Crown Court heard.During a short period of reconciliation, Whittam again became controlling and abusive, and his partner called the relationship off. Whittam threatened to stamp on her face, and set fire to her home, the court heard.
At one stage, Whittam's ex tried to appease him by allowing him to collect her child from school, but Whittam warned her that if she went near the school he would hit her. Whittam was arrested and later pleaded guilty to arson and sending threatening or abusive messages through electronic communication.
