THE TRIAL of a Claggan man charged with threatening to kill his former partner was deserted at Fort William Sheriff Court last week.
Alexander Watson, of Polmona, Claggan, Fort William, had pleaded not guilty that, for the purposes of causing her annoyance, inconvenience and needless anxiety, he had phoned the woman on May 12 and threatened to kill her.
However, the indictment against Watson has been withdrawn permanently.
