Boyfriend grinned as he showed off drugs

-

Leigha Collins says her relationsh­ip with Kyle Borg irrevocabl­y broke down in Malta.

She told the court he smoked cannabis while in the same room as her children and submitted a photograph, showing him grinning as he held up bags of cannabis.

She also claimed he spent money on drugs instead of milk for the children and alleged she was intimidate­d by a “string of undesirabl­es” coming to the flat “day and night”.

She said: “These people were stoned, angry and unpredicta­ble when they turned up demanding drugs. It was terrifying answering the door to them with my baby in my arms.

“One of them had a broken bottle and was threatenin­g to harm me and the children on one occasion. There was no escape because I’d encounter those same people when I was out with the children.

“When I asked Kyle to stop those people coming to the house, he’d become angry. I was constantly afraid because of his mood swings.”

Leigha claims that after she left Kyle, but was still in Malta, her lawyer tried to negotiate an agreement with him.

She claims Mr Borg drafted an offer agreeing for Hayes to live in Scotland as long as he had access to him during holidays and he did not have to pay for his upkeep.

In his statement to the court, Mr Borg insisted he was “not proud” posing for a photograph which shows him holding up the bags of cannabis.

He added: “I should point out that marijuana is necessary for a medical condition I suffer from and I have the necessary paperwork in order to have marijuana legally.”
