Lawrence Coglan has been jailed for stalking his ex-partner
A STALKER who launched a barrage of vile threats and abuse at his former partner has been jailed after leaving her fearing for her life.
Lawrence Coglan had been issued with a restraining order last summer to protect his ex-partner from his violent outbursts.
And the 58-year-old was given a community order for smashing the windscreen of a car belonging to the daughter of his ex-partner in a jealous rage.
However, after temporarily rekindling their romance Coglan unleashed his vengeful wrath when she ended it last October.
The court heard he bombarded her with up to 800 text messages in a four month period filled with threats of violence and abuse.
