A PREGNANT woman was held at knifepoint by her angry boyfriend after she told him their relationship was over, a court was told.
Peter Fitton had been out drinking all day when he returned to the couple's home in Astley.
After they talked, Zoe Jackson told him that she thought their relationship would not work out and she wanted him to leave the house.
She claimed that as she was packing his possessions Fitton picked up a kitchen knife and held it at her throat and threatened to kill her.
Fitton, aged 20, of Clegg Street, Astley, appeared at Bolton Crown Court to stand trial. He denied making threats to kill Zoe Jackson on August 27 last year.
