Parmjit Thami told police: "I'll f*** her up"



A former soldier who said he was going to murder his partner in a Coventry street - and started to count down from 20 - has been jailed.

Parmjit Thami made the threats while brandishing a knife during a drunken argument in Harefield Street, Stoke, and shouted: “I’ll f***ing slash her”.

He also said: “She’s going to be murdered in 20 seconds”, before beginning his countdown during the incident in September last year.

He also told a police officer: “She had better watch out, I’ll f*** her up.”

The 41-year-old had originally denied charges of assault by beating, threatening with a bladed article in a public place and making threats to kill.

But Thami, who had been injured during military service, changed his pleas to guilty on the day of his trial last month.

Thami, of Mount Pleasant, Redditch, has now been jailed for two years and three months at Warwick Crown Court.
