Last Thursday Falkirk Sheriff Court heard the complainer Gordon Downie (60) in the threatening behaviour offence which Jeannie Miller (55) admitted had subsequently passed away after a house fire on Thursday, April 8 at the address in Wilson Gardens where the offence was committed on March 26.

The court heard the premises had been a joint tenancy between Miller and Mr Downie.

Sheriff Derek Livingston warned Miller, currently living in Shiel Gardens, Bainsford, the case against her would still go ahead despite Mr Downie’s death.

He deferred sentence on her until May 27 for further reports and a restriction of liberty order assessment.

The special bail conditions were removed meaning Miller can now enter the premises in Wilson Gardens.
