Plasterer Christopher Haining went to the bash at his sister’s house at the height of last year’s warm summer and got so drunk he took offence when he overheard their plans to jet off abroad.

The red mist descended and he kicked off, going so nuts he was charged with battering both of his loved-ones.

Paisley Sheriff Court heard this week that Haining, of the town’s Woodbank Crescent, arrived at the back garden bash in Springfield Park on Saturday, July 6 last year.

Everyone was drinking and, at about 9.30pm, trouble flared.

Sheriff William Ireland was told that “the topic of a possible holiday abroad came up” in a discussion between Haining’s sister, Elisa Lennox, and Elaine Graham, his partner.

The sheriff heard that 29-year-old Haining “became hostile towards them because he felt that he was left out of the discussion”.

He started shouting and swearing at the women, becoming increasingly aggressive, and wound up trashing the garden.

In his drunken rage, Haining grabbed anything he could lay his hands on and tossed the items around, leaving many of them damaged.

He then stormed off – only to come back seconds later.

As he walked back he shouted to his sister and girlfriend that he was sorry and tried to open the gate.

But his furious partner held the gate closed to try and keep him out.

Her attempts to keep him out were futile, however, and he overpowered her before attacking her.

The court heard that he lashed out, kicking her in the stomach and then grabbing a garden lantern which he lobbed at her.

The lantern narrowly missed Miss Graham.

He was then accused of assaulting his sister.

Prosecutors claimed he repeatedly lunged at her, punched her so hard in the stomach she hit her head against a wall and chucked a host of garden items at her.

But prosecutors accepted his not guilty plea to this charge.

The terrified women asked Haining to leave after the attack on Miss Graham and, when he took off, they called the police.

Officers investigating the incident noticed that both women were upset and could see there had been a disturbance as there were garden items strewn across the back door.

Haining was tracked down the following day and was arrested and charged.

When he appeared in court in December he admitted attacking his girlfriend and a second charge that he shouted, swore and threw garden items.

After hearing from Amy Spencer, defending, that he only had one previous conviction for a driving offence and had been of good behaviour for the last three months, Sheriff Ireland told him to stay out of trouble for a further six months.

He will return to court in August to learn his fate.
