A former NHS nurse dialled 999 and warned she would kill her next-door neighbour after the two pensioners fell out over a delivery driver.
Yvonne Finlayson, 74, spent a night in a cell after telling police she would kill 72-year-old Christine Blower. Wigan Magistrates Court heard how Finlayson, from Atherton, told a call handler she was 'going to kill her, the f****** c***' before hanging up.
The police operator called her back and Finlayson continued: "I do not f****** care, I will f****** kill that c*** next door.
I will really do that." The warning prompted Greater Manchester Police to turn up at Finlayson's home and arrest her. She spent a night in a cell, which was described by a magistrate as 'punishment in itself'.
