A 49 year old man involved in a bitter divorce aimed a drunken tirade at his former wife last Christmas, calling her “a greedy little Jewish princess” and threatening that he was going to gas her.

“I’ll f***ing gas you. I’m Adolf,” investment banker Mark Symington told his ex-wife on Christmas day 2011.  “You think you’re clever.  You’re just a greedy little  Jewish princess. You’re just a silly little gold-digger. You’ve got a few fur coats, you’ve also got my kilt and waistcoat, which I’d rather like, and my antiques, which I’d rather like.”

Symington made more than 20 drunken phone calls to his former wife Sarah in the early hours of December 25th and claims that while he has paid child support since their split, she has not allowed him to see their children.

A county Sherriff involved in investigating the case told MailOnline that it was baffling how someone like Symington would engage in such behavior.

“It defeats me that someone of 49,  who appears to have some sort of insight and ability, engages in three nights of what can only be described as an unpleasant tirade against an estranged spouse,” Perth Count Sheriff Lindsay Foulis said.
