A 28-year-old man, Macauley Thomas, is accused of attacking his pregnant former partner at her home after sending threatening messages. Reporting describes that he texted her saying, “I’ll come and batter you now,” and that his hands were then reportedly around her throat during the assault.
Both outlets focus on the same sequence of events: the alleged pre-attack text threat and the physical attack that follows. The Daily Record (Scotland) and WalesOnline frame the incident as a “terrifying” attack and emphasize the victim’s pregnancy, but neither provides additional details beyond the general account of what was said in the messages and what was alleged to have happened when he arrived. The reports reflect the use of the text messages as part of the case context, portraying them as an immediate lead-up to the assault at the woman’s home.
