PERTH ALERT‼️
Convicted Domestic Abuser spotted living in Perth after relocation from Cupar.

FIFE MAN DRIVES CAR OVER GIRLFRIEND SLEEPING IN TENT
A man named David Owen, aged 21 from Fife, has been found guilty of a serious incident involving his girlfriend Louise Graham.

On the night of October 8 or 9, 2008, Owen took Graham's car without permission while they were at West Sands beach in St Andrews with friends.

During the incident, Owen drove the car over Graham while she was sleeping in a tent, causing severe injuries.

Graham described waking up feeling suffocated and burning, realizing she was under the car's wheels.

Despite her pleas for help, Owen initially refused to call an ambulance, fearing police involvement.

Instead, Graham was forced to drive herself to Owen’s home, where she was eventually hospitalized at Dundee's Ninewells Hospital with burns and other injuries requiring skin grafts.

Owen previously had convictions for housebreaking, breach of peace, and violent assaults, and was serving a four-month sentence for housebreaking.

The court proceedings are currently pending, with details of the sentence deferred for background reports.

‘I’LL KILL YOU THIS TIME’: ‘JEKYLL AND HYDE’ ABUSER BACK BEFORE COURT AFTER TERRORISING SAME WOMAN FOR YEARS

A “Jekyll and Hyde” domestic abuser who has been offending against the same woman for years barged into her home while drunk and chillingly warned her:

“I’ll kill you this time.”

Paul McCafferty, 50, was already banned from contacting his ex-partner under a 10-year non-harassment order when he turned up uninvited at her Perth home.

The former chef has a disturbing history of violence towards the woman dating back to 2017.

In 2020, a court imposed the decade-long order after McCafferty smashed a vase over her head before trying to silence her with a pillow when police arrived.

But even that failed to stop him.

In 2024, he was jailed for 32 months after throttling the same woman until she could not breathe.

Now McCafferty is back before the courts again.

BARGED INTO HER HOME DRUNK

Perth Sheriff Court heard McCafferty walked into his ex-partner’s home at around 10pm on May 19 last year while intoxicated.

His presence immediately made the woman anxious and she secretly texted her sister for help.

McCafferty then became aggressive, challenged another person inside the property to a fight and turned on his ex, calling her a “slag.”

She repeatedly tried to get him to leave.

During the struggle, McCafferty grabbed onto a stairway bannister before stumbling backwards and snapping part of it.

His ex attempted to push him outside and close the front door — but McCafferty pushed back against it while shouting and swearing.

Eventually, the woman’s sister arrived and managed to persuade him to leave.

But as she walked McCafferty towards her car, he turned back towards his former partner and shouted:

“I’ll kill you this time.”

The terrified woman contacted police once he had gone.

TRIED TO KICK POLICE OFFICER

McCafferty was arrested later that evening.

But his aggressive behaviour allegedly continued once he was in police custody.

The court heard that while being dealt with at the charge bar in Dundee, McCafferty became hostile and repeatedly threw his leg out in an attempt to kick a police officer.

He admitted threatening and abusive behaviour likely to cause fear or alarm, assaulting a police officer and breaching the non-harassment order.

He also admitted breaching the same order again just weeks later, on July 19, 2025, when he was spotted drinking in a local pub with his ex-partner.

A witness who knew about the court order contacted police.

‘CLEARLY TOXIC’

Despite McCafferty’s violent history, the court was told he is now seeking to have the 10-year non-harassment order revoked — with his former partner reportedly supporting the move.

The pair have been involved in an on-off relationship for around eight years.

When McCafferty was jailed in 2024, Sheriff William Wood highlighted the disturbing cycle of violence, saying he had been assaulting his partner “one way or another since 2017.”

The sheriff also questioned why the woman continued to support the relationship, describing it as “clearly toxic.”

McCafferty has previously described himself as a “Jekyll and Hyde character.”

His solicitor told the court he is expected to begin the Caledonian Programme, which works with men convicted of domestic abuse offences, although there had reportedly been delays due to a backlog.

McCafferty remains on bail ahead of sentencing next month.

Sheriff Jennifer Bain KC warned him:

“This was appalling behaviour.”

She added that she had only been “narrowly persuaded” to allow him to remain on bail.

MAN CONVICTED AFTER “CAMPAIGN OF TERROR” AGAINST FORMER PARTNER

Former professional boxer Ryan Warden has been sentenced to five years in prison for a prolonged pattern of domestic abuse, s*xual assault, and coercive control against his former partner.

The sentencing was handed down at the High Court in Edinburgh on 22 July 2026, with Lord Renucci describing Warden’s conduct as “gravity of the offences which you have committed” and emphasising that a custodial sentence was the only appropriate disposal.

Warden, aged 35, engaged in a sustained campaign of abusive and controlling behaviour across residences in Perth and Scone from March 2022 until April 2026.

The court heard disturbing details of his actions, which included physical violence, s*xual assault, and coercive tactics aimed at isolating and intimidating his victim.

During the trial at the High Court in Stirling, Warden was convicted of two main offences: one for engaging in a course of abusive behaviour towards the woman and another for attempting to pervert the course of justice by repeatedly contacting her to influence her court testimony and support.

The court detailed several violent incidents, notably two episodes in June and July 2024 where Warden restricted the woman’s breathing by grabbing her face and covering her mouth, actions that posed a risk to her life.

In July 2024, he also forced her to destroy her mobile phone, carried out a non-consensual s*xual act, and prevented her from leaving a house in Perth.

Additionally, Warden secretly recorded intimate footage of her without consent and later s*xually assaulted her during another incident.

Throughout the period of abuse, Warden repeatedly shouted and swore at his partner, accused her of infidelity, controlled her clothing choices, and demanded to know her whereabouts.

He also threatened her with self-harm, including smashing a car windscreen, and told her to refuse police cooperation and to miss court appearances while he was in custody in Perth.

His persistent harassment included phone calls, letters, emails, and attempts to influence her to withdraw support for the prosecution.

The court noted Warden’s lack of insight into his actions and his failure to show remorse.

A background report described his behaviour as “worrying reading,” and a risk assessment indicated he posed a significant threat of re-offending.

As a result, Warden has been placed on the S*x Offenders Register and will remain under supervision and monitoring for three years on licence, with the possibility of returning to prison if he breaches any conditions.

Warden initially denied multiple charges but was convicted after a trial.

His defence lawyer, Duncan McPhie, highlighted Warden’s past as a promising boxer who represented Britain and noted that he suffered a brain injury at age 21 following an assault.

Despite this, the court found the offences to be serious and deserving of a custodial sentence, reflecting the gravity of his misconduct and the impact on his victim.

COURT SENTENCES MAN FOR SEXUAL ASSAULT AT PERTHSHIRE STAFF PARTY

A court has heard that a restaurant employee laughed at a 13-year-old girl after s*xually assaulting her during a staff gathering.

Drunkenly, Eric Cousin slapped the girl’s buttocks and touched her breasts at the event in Blairgowrie.

When she asked him to stop, he responded with laughter.

The 58-year-old appeared in Perth Sheriff Court to admit to molesting the young girl on August 31 of the previous year.

Having a prior conviction for s*xually assaulting a stranger in a Perth pub, Cousin was prohibited from contacting his victim for up to five years.

Prosecutor Elaine Sym described the incident occurring during a work social in the Blairgowrie area.

She indicated that Cousin was visibly intoxicated during the event, which started around midday.

The girl, who was 13, was having her lunch with her mother when the incident occurred.

At approximately 3 pm, she was walking through a garden area with Cousin behind her.

He repeatedly slapped her on the buttocks, and when she turned to look at him, he was smiling.

She did not react at the time.

An hour later, during a playful fight, she pinched his arm, prompting him to push her breasts.

She told him not to touch her, but he laughed in response.

For the remainder of the day, she tried to avoid Cousin, who was acting inappropriately.

Later, she confided in her mother after they returned home from visiting a friend.

Her mother confronted Cousin, who apologized, claiming he meant no harm.

Solicitor David Holmes, defending Cousin, stated that his client had consumed a significant amount of alcohol that day.

He expressed that Cousin regrets his actions and has apologized.

Previously, Cousin was sentenced to unpaid work following an incident in 2019 at Perth’s Greyfriars bar where he had molested a woman.

For that offence, he spent a year on the s*x offenders register.

Sheriff William Wood told Cousin that his previous conviction would influence the court’s decision.

While acknowledging the seriousness of the offence, the sheriff decided against a custodial sentence, citing the need for supervision instead.

He warned Cousin to behave responsibly given the age disparity and alcohol influence.

The court ordered Cousin to be under supervision for 18 months, complete 145 hours of unpaid work, and stay away from the girl for five years under a non-harassment order.

Additionally, he must avoid contact with the girl’s mother for 18 months and remain on the s*x offenders register for five years.
