A SAUCHIE man sent vile messages about torturing English people and putting them “in a gas chamber like the Jews”.

As a result, 25-year-old Paul Dennett, of Gartmorn Road, appeared at Alloa Sheriff Court.

He admitted that on September 30 at Hunter Gardens, Denny, he sent video and text messages that were grossly offensive and included swearing and threats to two people.

The messages were sent to Dennett’s step-sister and a male.

Depute fiscal Sean Iles said the messages included: “I despise the English. I want to put them in a gas chamber like the Jews and make them go ‘bye bye’.

“That’s what I want to do to English c**** like you. The s*** I would do to people like you, you don’t want to f****** know.

"I want to string you up like dog meat and torture the living s*** out of you.”

He also made a comment about having had a knife in his bag during a previous visit.

Dennett is already on a community payback order for a similar offence where he sent offensive messages to his former partner.

Sheriff Neil Bowie deferred sentencing until July 18 to monitor Dennett’s progress on his current order.
