Man denies threats to kill

A former Blenheim man living in Australia since 2003 is on trial at Blenheim District Court for threatening to kill his former partner.

Andrew Wilkinson Bailey, 48, denied two charges of threatening to kill when he appeared in court for his jury trial which began yesterday before Judge Chris Tuohy.

The trial is expected to finish today.

Crown prosecutor Sophie O'Donoghue said Bailey threatened to kill his former partner on two occasions on September 27, 2010, over the custody of their three teenage children.

Defence counsel Philip Watson did not make an opening statement.
