THREATS have been made online against a woman freed on bail while accused of murder.

Nicola Bishop, a 25-year-old forensic science student, and partner Jason Howells, 34. are charged with the murder of Fynn Western-Davey, in Balmoral Park, Chester.

On a group set up on Facebook in tribute to Mr Western-Davey, one man, wrote: “nicola bishop is out on bail ppl we gna get her or wot!!!” on April 1.

Users warned him the comment could land him in trouble.

Despite the message being reported to Facebook, it remains on the site.

After threats were posted online when Bishop and Howells were charged, Cheshire police urged users to behave responsibly and asked Facebook to monitor postings closely.

Cheshire Police spokeswoman Shelley Williams said: “Where there is any clear indication of an offence being committed they will be investigated by the constabulary.”
