'Bang, bang – you’re all f*****g dead': Paisley lout chapped window and issued chilling threat to women

A brute terrorised his former pals after storming round to their house and shouting: “Bang, bang – you’re all f*****g dead.”

William Munro, 39, made threats to two women after spying them through a window.

He darted through a garden and leapt a fence after they called 999.

Munro admitted causing fear or alarm during a hearing at Paisley Sheriff Court.

Prosecutor John Penman told how the women were left terrified by the ordeal.

He said: “Lisa Richmond and Cheryl Higgins were in the home.

“Their attention was drawn to someone chapping on the living room window.

“Both looked up and observed a male standing outside in the front garden.

“He was then seen to gesticulate with both hands and shout, ‘bang, bang – you’re all f*****g dead’. Both were so alarmed and fearful for their safety and dialled 999.

“He ran off across the garden and jumped over a fence and ran out of sight.”

Munro targeted the women as they sat at home on Ferguslie Park Avenue .

He disappeared into nearby streets after they raised the alarm.

He sidled up to the house around 7.15pm last December 27.

Cops managed to track him down days later.

Defence lawyer David Nicholson claimed the feud had been sparked by a row over cash.
He said: “Lisa Richmond, her partner and Mr Munro are historically all very good friends

“They moved into a new property.

“Mr Munro loaned them a significant sum in order to help them.

“He required the money paid back.

“He was being ignored and ridiculed.

“In a moment of anger, he acted this way.

“There has been no contact and he accepts he won’t ever get the money he loaned them.”

The court heard Munro has a record of convictions.

But his last offence dates back to almost a decade ago.

Sheriff Tom McCartney insisted he must pay for the stunt.

He said: “I shall impose a fine of £225.

“It is reduced from £250 due to your plea.”

Munro, of Lismore Drive, Paisley , was ordered to pay £10 per week.
