Man threatened to burn ex-partner, court heard

A man, David Adair, was denied bail after allegedly threatening to kill his ex-partner and burn her possessions, a court heard today. Adair faces nine charges, including threats to kill, criminal damage, and theft, stemming from incidents between March 16th and May 9th. The court heard he sent threatening messages, including one stating he would "melt you like a candle." The judge cited the severity of the threats and the risk of further offenses as reasons for denying bail, remanding Adair in custody until June 2nd. Police opposed bail due to concerns about his behavior.
