A jealous lawyer hounded her estranged husband with derogatory Facebook messages and had him arrested after he began an affair with a younger woman.
Susilla Mercer, 44, branded Gerard Flynn's South American girlfriend Shelina Kurz 'scruffy' and 'trampy', adding: ‘Penthouse to s***house does not even cut it.’
She also made unfounded allegations of assault against Mr Flynn which resulted in him being detained and quizzed by police, a court heard, only to be released without charge.
In response, Mercer - who married her husband in 2020 in a lavish £60,000 wedding ceremony at Peckforton Castle in Cheshire - messaged him saying: ‘I am sorry I got you arrested but I did not want to spend £200 to £300 an hour on a water tight divorce.
‘The copper then took it out of my hands and I spent the time with two barristers trying to get you out to make sure that the CPS did not take it further.’
