Moray Man supports abuse for 13 years in Inverness Sheriff Court

A Keith abuser controlled and assaulted three couples, one who was very pregnant, for 13 years and left his victims “petrified and terrified.”

Colin Morrison de Nelson Terrace declared himself guilty of two -harassment and a assault charge to serious injuries and permanent disfiguration in the Invertness Sheriff’s court.

The man appeared in the Inverness Sheriff Court.

A woman who had six or seven months pregnant had a TV on her head by the 47 -year -old woman and was convinced that she was going to be beaten with him.

But fiscal deputy Naomi Duffy-Welsh told Sheriff Sara Matheson that Morrison hit the partner scared in the head with him before leaving him.

The court heard that before this, during the relationship between 2001 and 2013, Morrison hit the woman’s head and left her with a scar on the nose.

On another occasion, when he planned a chicken, he dragged her out of the house and threatened to drive to a tree.

In 2008, he picked it up from the Huntly train station.

“He was in a bad mood and while driving, he suddenly crashed into the brakes, reversed sharply and hit a road sign,” added the prosecutor.

During 2009, Morrison and his partner returned home in Keith and attacked her, hitting her in the nose and breaking her.

His nose was narrowing and the medical staff had to break it again to straighten him, according to the court.

Morrison has also abused a second woman, during her relationship with her between 2012 and 2014.

“He regularly got angry, especially when he had been drinking, complaining about her size, although she was thin, she criticized her makeup and appearance and called her stupid,” said Duffy-Welsh.

“He persistently called and sent him a text message fluctuating that he saw her to abuse her and threats.

“She was scared since he appeared regularly at home without invitation.”

A third woman was in a relationship with Morrison around 2014.

Sheriff Matheson heard that the man had lost his stirrups with her and threatened with the damage for himself, once sending a photo of himself lying on the floor with his bleeding dolls.

Defense lawyer Bill Adam said that the background of this was alcohol abuse, but added: “He has surpassed it to a certain degree according to his own efforts. And he has not been offended since this prosecution began.”

He asked the Sheriff to define the sentence for a fund report to which he agreed, establishing a date of April 17 and continued his bond.

But he warned Morrison: “You shouldn’t read anything in that.”
