A GREENOCK man who threatened his estranged wife with posting material about her on Facebook has had his sentence further deferred in his absence from court.

Gary Stewart, 39, 'overwhelmed' the woman with a constant barrage of communication, a previous calling of the case was told.

Stewart, of Nelson Street, went on to breach a bail order to stay away from his victim.

He was due to be sentenced at the sheriff court last week but he didn't attend.

The matters are now due to be dealt with on March 3.
