He also said she abused his new girlfriend, stalked him and hacked into his Friends Reunited entry and announced she had given birth to his baby. Excerpt:

The man's father said: 'They said they had been asked to "nip the situation in the bud". But the question is who was asking them to do this? They wanted to stop him speaking further about the case."
