A jealous husband who threatened to kill his estranged wife during a 13-mile terror drive has been jailed for 42 months.

Paul McKinney, 52, flew into a rage and forced Louisa McKinney, 54, into his car in May this year, because he believed she was cheating on him.

The couple had split the previous week after 16 years of marriage.

Sheriff Johanna Johnston QC told McKinney: “Abusing, assaulting and terrorising someone is the type of behaviour that the court takes a serious view of.”
