A devastated brother has promised a revenge on four schoolgirls he blamed for bullying his sister to death. He has since sent them threatening messages.
Jordan Clements, 20, sent a series of violent threats on Facebook and Snapchat after his 14 year old sister Nyah James was found dead at her home in Blaenymaes, Swansea.
He told one girl she would be ‘strung up with the dead cows in the butchers’ after accusing her of being involved in the alleged bullying.
Nyah died in February this year after claims she was being bullied. The coroner is investigating.
Swansea magistrates heard Clements blamed the girls over the death of his sister and told one of them: ‘I know what you did. You are going to regret this for the rest of your life.’
He told another girl: ‘Go and play with broken glass in your mouth.’
The court heard Clements’ messages left his victims – who cannot be named for legal reasons – feeling frightened and anxious.
Clements, also from Blaenymaes in Swansea, admitted two counts of harassment and two counts of sending communications of an indecent or offensive nature.
He told police he sent the messages ‘when angry and upset’ because he wanted to make the girls feel the way his sister had felt when she was being bullied.
But prosecutor Sharon Anderson said the girls told police they had done nothing wrong – and felt scared and fearful following Clements’ messages.
District judge Neale Thomas adjourned the case for reports.
Clements was bailed on the condition he does not use social media or contact the girls.
Speaking after her daughter’s death, Nyah’s mum Dominique Williams, 46, said: ‘I only found out she was being bullied after her death.
‘I’m aware messages were being sent on Snapchat and Facebook.
‘Since then a few people have come forward to say she had been targeted at school.
‘Her phone has been seized by police who are investigating. Whoever is at the end of it need to realise what they’ve done – we need justice.’
