Police probing man threatening ex-girlfriend in viral voicenote

The police have launched a probe into a case where a man is heard threatening the life of his ex-girlfriend.

In a voicenote, which has gone viral, the man is heard repeatedly telling a woman identified as ‘Denise’ that he was going to kill her.

He lamented that he was left hurt after she ended the relationship, accusing her of using him.

But, the woman said that she walked away because she no longer felt comfortable in the relationship.

This did not discourage him and he repeated his threats to harm her. 

The police have launched an investigation into a viral voicenote where a man referred to as Peter threatened to kill his ex-lover. The @JamaicaConstab says death threats are serious and victims should report them to the nearest police station.
