A former soldier told his partner he’d kill her after she threatened to send a photo of them in bed together to his new lover.

Robert Scoular slept with the woman who had begun to suspect he was cheating on her, a court heard.While he was asleep, she took a photo of them in bed while he was in a “state of undress”.When she later threatened to send the image to the other woman, Scoular told her: “I’m killing you.” Scoular, 39, appeared at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Wednesday and admitted a charge of threatening or abusive behaviour.

His defence agent Chris Fehily said Scoular and his ex-partner had been in a “very turbulent relationship” for a number of years.Mr Fehily said it was “not to his credit” but his client had formed a new relationship while continuing to see her.

Scoular called his long-standing partner to ask for a lift, the solicitor said, and they ended up sleeping together at her Edinburgh home.
