Updated: 17/07/2021, 3:41 pm Stuart Wyness leaving Aberdeen Sheriff Court. A north-east man has admitted subjecting his wife to nearly a year of abuse in which he spat at her and shook her “like a rag doll”. Aberdeen Sheriff Court heard how Stuart Wyness, 65, carried out both verbal and physical abuse against his wife – often leaving her “terrified” within their home. Wyness, an electrician, called the woman “ignorant”, “glaikit” and a “useless lump” while also grabbing her by the neck and throwing household items at her between July 2019 and May 2020. The court also heard that during one argument he threw a knife at her feet.
