A Stockport man who threatened to kill a veteran MP in public has walked free from court. Former Labour shadow minister Jack Dromey sadly died before the case against Phillip Dowbekin, 36, was brought to court - but prosecutors were still able to pursue the case.
Manchester Magistrates Court heard that Labour shadow minister Mr Dromey had been working at his London home on November 12, 2020, when a member of his staff informed him about the threatening message sent to his Facebook account.
Dowbekin was not known to Mr Dromey. In the vile message, which was read out in court, Dowbekin said he would kill Mr Dromey 'in public and record it' if he saw the MP in person.
In the same message, sent with the subject ' Covid 19 ', Dowbekin also said he would kill if he saw Prime Minister Boris Johnson or then-Health Secretary Matt Hancock.
