An online troll threatened to “rape and kill” a former Wishaw councillor.
Horrified Rosa Zambonini received the chilling message on Facebook , sent by a creep who branded her “SNP scum”.
The independence campaigner posted a copy of the vile message on Twitter, revealing she will report it to the police.
She said: “I just checked my Facebook ‘other’ messages and just found this. The user has deleted their account but I’m absolutely shaken.”
Rosa, who quit as a councillor for her home town after complaining she was a victim of a campaign of harassment, tweeted: “There is no option on Facebook to report it, so I’m going to call the police in the morning and Parliament security.
“I’m laying in my bed crying ‘cause I love what I do so much, but I don’t think I deserve this.”
The cruel message has been condemned by Rosa’s supporters on the social media platform.
