"I've got you on film s******* my wife": Ex-police officer 'battered wife's new man after he saw them having sex in a Screwfix car park'

An ex-cop is alleged to have 'battered' an inspector after he caught him having sex with his constable wife in a Screwfix car park.

Following the break-down of their relationship in 2020, Gavin Harper is accused of stalking his estranged wife, Merseyside Police constable Stephanie Glynn, causing serious alarm and distress as he bugged her car, took her phone, hacked into her social media and downloaded her Snapchat history.

It is alleged he was holding up his mobile phone, and shouted at Mr McLullich "I've got you on film s****ing my wife" before grabbing him and punching him several times in the face.

It is then alleged he went to the back of his wife's car, laid down on the ground and appeared to grab something from underneath, which Ms Glynn believed to be a tracking device. Mr McLullich "scuffled" with Harper as he tried to prise the item out of his hand, and Harper allegedly struck him at least twice with a torch, leaving him with "two deep cuts" and "blood pouring down his face".

Harper, of Aisla Road, Liscard, denies stalking and unlawful wounding. He appeared at Liverpool Crown Court yesterday, March 11, for trial.

This was something Harper couldn’t take, and so he resorted to jealously trying to figure out
