Jilted lover tells of ‘disturbing’ messages

A JILTED lover suing her millionaire former partner for £500,000 after he dumped her has told how she closed her Facebook page because of abusive messages about the case.

Julie Zelent, 51, claims she got “disturbing” and “nasty” mail prior to the court action against Alan Savage, a former chairman of Inverness Caledonian Thistle.

She is suing Mr Savage because she claims he forced her to give up a high-powered £54,000-a-year job with the Royal Bank of Scotland in London in order to move to the Highlands to live with him. Ms Zelent is claiming a loss of earnings, employment benefits and pension rights as a breach of promise for marriage.

She was giving evidence yesterday for the fourth day at Inverness Sheriff Court.

The civil case continues.
