A BEBINGTON woman was terrified and in fear after her estranged husband called at her home and held a knife to her throat, commenting: "I've had enough. You've gone too far," prosecutor Gill Harris told Wirral magistrates.

Kenneth James Evans, aged 42, of Railway Road, Rock Ferry, admitted making a threat to kill Marilyn Evans in September.

Defence solicitor John Weate said there was a likely reconciliation and he handed a letter from the complainant to the magistrates.

Evans was put on probation for 18 months with a condition to attend a domestic violence course. He had to pay £45 costs.
