A KILMARNOCK resident has admitted to a string of abusive behaviours during the course of two relationships.

Sam Reilly, 21, pled guilty to two charges in relation to abusive behaviours towards two former partners during a hearing at Kilmarnock Sheriff Court.

Court papers detailed campaigns of abuse towards the two partners over the course of two periods of time from 2019 to 2021.

Reilly admitted to engaging in a course of behaviour that was abusive towards the first former partner between May 1, 2019 and October 31, 2020.

The behaviours were carried out across various locations including the Blue Triangle Hostel, Fullarton Street and their home address in MacKenzie Drive in Kilmarnock as well as Lothian Road in Stewarton and elsewhere.

Court papers describing the charge list a number of behaviours including restricting and controlling the victims' ability to interact with friends.

The first charge adds that Reilly acted in an aggressive manner towards one partner and repeatedly shouted at them and pushed them to their injury.

Reilly also admitted threatening to damage this former partner's treasured possessions if they did not do as they were told.

The 21-year-old, who would have been aged between 16 and 18 during the course of the relationship, also pleaded guilty to shouting derogatory remarks at this former partner.

Court papers also stated that during this period, Reilly smeared dog faeces on one victim's arm and threw a bag containing faeces at them.

A further charge, which Reilly also admitted, refers to a another course of abusive behaviour towards a former partner between January 1 and July 31 of 2021.

These incidents took place at Ayrshire College, Reilly's home address and the Kilmarnock Burns Shopping Centre - all Kilmarnock - as well as elsewhere.

Reilly admitted repeatedly pushing this partner, causing them to fall to the ground and to strike their head on the pavement.

Court papers add that Reilly also pushed the victim on the body, causing them to fall into a table and strike their stomach to their injury.

Bail was granted and sentence deferred to a later date.
