Ex-cop Gavin Harper denies the charges he faces
A senior police officer 'flew into a rage' and attacked his PC lover's estranged husband after he caught them having sex in a Screwfix car park, a defence barrister told a jury.
She said: "When Harper opened the back door of the car, Mr McLullich realised what was happening and he flew into a rage. He turned around and he started punching Harper to the face, so much so that Harper fell backwards into the side of the car. Then Mr McLullich got out of the car, stumbling because his pants were still around his ankles, and when he pulled them up he lunged at Harper," reports The Echo.
Barrister Ms Payne said Ms Glynn's testimony, in which she stated Mr McLullich did not attempt to fight back or escape as Harper "punched him over and over", was "rubbish". Ms Glynn claimed Harper then laid down on the ground and removed a tracking device from her car, and that Mr McLullich "scuffled" with him as he attempted to take it.
"While Harper was on the floor, Mr McLullich continued to hit and kick him. Then you jumped in. You kicked him to the side." He stands accused of stalking Ms Glynn, causing serious alarm and distress, by bugging her car and allegedly following her to Bidston Hill, where the defence said she met with Mr McLullich. On December 15 2020 he took her mobile phone and downloaded her Snapchat history, revealing the dates and times she had been communicating with Mr McLullich.
The court heard Ms Glynn only reported Harper's behaviour after Harper himself had contacted Merseyside Police and claimed she and Mr McLullich had been having sex while on duty. On January 17 2021, she texted a friend that she was "fuming" and "livid" with Harper as he had reported her to the Professional Standards Department. When her friend asked her if she would report Harper for stalking, she replied: "I don't want to but may have to if PSD come knocking.
