A judge has ordered a Leigh man be remanded in custody until his next court hearing after he was charged with terrorising a woman and threatening violence against a man

A Wigan borough 33-year-old has been remanded into custody after being accused of serious stalking, sending menacing messages and numerous restraining order breaches.

Anthony O'Donnell, of Rugby Road, Leigh, appeared before local justices to face a charge of stalking causing fear by sending friend requests to a woman via a third party.

He is further accused of seven harassing breaches of a restraining order preventing contact with the same female by calling or messaging her.

And it is alleged that he sent messages to a named male threatening on one occasion to "chop him up" and another to "cut his throat."

All the offences are alleged to have taken place between September 7 and October 16.

O'Donnell has not yet entered any pleas and he will remain behind bars until making his first appearance before a Liverpool Crown Court judge on November 16.
