A feud between a husband and wife escalated on Thursday to the point that he threatened to throw her off their balcony, a court heard yesterday.

Police Inspector Kevin Pulis said that George Cassar, 37, from Kirkop, made the threat during one of the couple’s usual flare-ups on Thursday evening. They had been having such fights for the last five years, he said. Ms Cassar pleaded not guilty and his lawyer Franco Debono secured bail for him against a personal guarantee of €3,000.
