He also was violent towards her which included pushing her to the floor and pinning her down when she was six months pregnant. She was also injured after Querns smashed a glass in a hotel room with the shards striking her. The pair broke up in January 2023. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

"I am going to impose a period of 30 months imprisonment. I am going to reduce that to 27 months given your plea of guilty." Officers raided Querns' flat in Shettleston, Glasgow, on August 8, 2023 after the devices were discovered at the woman's house. The court heard how Querns was snared after his DNA was found on two of the covert gadgets at the woman's property in Motherwell, Lanarkshire, in July 2023.
"She took a butter knife, unscrewed the wall socket in the living room near to the couch and found a device connected to the live mains which connected to a SIM card with a red light."
