Western Australian Premier Mark McGowan and his family were forced to hide inside while a man allegedly screamed death threats outside their home.
Mr McGowan s wife Sarah locked their three children in a room while Gavin Michael Higgs, 33, allegedly threatened to kill the family.
The premier was getting changed shortly after arriving home when Higgs appeared outside their home in Rockingham, Perth, about 8.30pm on April 21.
His wife rushed inside from the verandah and locked the doors before securing their terrified children Samuel, 17, Alexander, 15, and Amelia, 11, in the locked room.
