A man sacked from his job threatened to paint "paedophile" and "nonce" on his manager's house.
Peter Melia, 46, flew into a rage when he was dismissed from his role as a warehouseman at a company in Speke. The dad-of-four and grandad-of-two had worked for the firm for more than a year.
Liverpool Crown Court heard the company decided to fire Melia for reasons not heard in open court. Christopher Taylor, prosecuting, said Melia reacted "very badly" when his manager called him into his office on January 6, 2021.
