Rejected husband wields hammer
A CLITHEROE man dis traught after his ex-wife wrote to tell him she had started a new relationship went to her house holding a elaw hammer. Blackburn magistrates
heard that 54-ycar-oId Ra ymo n d Cor r had hoped for a reconciliation after the couple went on holiday together, then he had struggled to cope after his daughter delivered the letter containing the bombshell news of.his ex-wife’s new re lationship. Corr, of Waddow Green,
Low Moor, pleaded guilty to possessing an offensive weapon in Petre Wood Close, Langho. He was remanded on bail
for the preparation of a pre sentence report. Mr Peter Wilde (prosecut
ing) said since his ex-wife wrote to him, Corr had taken an overdose of tablets and also tried to take his own life using the exhaust from a car. “She was clearly con
cerned when he turned up at her house and started banging on the door with a claw hammer,” said Mr Wilde. Mr Ben Leech (defending)
said Corr had acted out of desperation to show his love for his wife. “He accepts that after re
ceiving the letter, which said there was no future for them he made attempts on his own life,” said Mr Leech. HesaidCorr took the ham
mer out of his car because he feared her new partner might be present, but denied using it to bang on the door.
