A man twice threatened to burn down his ex-partner’s house with her and her children inside. Aaron Llewellyn, 32, began harassing his former partner in April, making threatening phone calls and voicemails after he had been sent to prison for breaching a non-molestation order involving a different victim.
Llewellyn said he would kill her and her children by setting their house on fire.
He said he would petrol bomb her car and beat her, her children, and her parents.
She was also told there was someone watching her home.
Llewellyn was using a prison phone in HMP Peterborough as well as a mobile phone and made a total of 194 calls to the victim.

On his release in August, Llewellyn continued to harass her and in the space of about a week, he sent 500 text messages, made 17 phone calls, and left numerous voicemails.
On Wednesday (22 November) at Peterborough Crown Court, Llewellyn, of Cowper Road, New England, Peterborough, was jailed for three years, having pleaded guilty to harassment.
He also pleaded guilty to making threats to kill and making threats to damage and destroy property for which he received no separate penalty.
PC Hannon said: “Llewellyn’s behaviour was vile and caused the victim a great deal of fear, so I am delighted he is behind bars. I would also like to thank her for supporting a prosecution.
“Tackling violence against women and girls is a force priority and we will always look to put offenders before the courts.”
