Kirkwall man admits breaching bail conditions

A Kirkwall man appeared from custody at Kirkwall Sheriff Court today, Friday, and admitted breaching bail conditions set in December.

Bruce Malissa, 41, had previously denied behaving in a threatening or abusive manner towards a woman at an address in Dounby, however, he changed his plea at court to guilty, where he also admitted breaching the conditions, set at that time, by being in contact with the complainer.

Sentence was deferred until February 16 for the purpose of obtaining a social work inquiry report and community payback order, with a supervision element.

Bail was continued.
