A Dunedin man fuelled by jealousy and malice brandished a knife at his ex-partner while his three young children were in the house. After interrogating the woman about her dating habits, the defendant became increasingly jealous, the Dunedin District Court heard last week. He took the victim’s phone, keys and bank card before grabbing her by the collar and violently dragging her outside. He ordered her to get out of the house and threatened to slash her tyres. Walker told police he took the victim’s property "to be malicious", the court heard.
