Mr Platt found out that he was not the paternal father of his wife’s baby on the televised ‘Jeremy Kyle’. It was recorded that Mr Platt willingly took part in the show because he wanted to establish the paternity of the baby. When he discovered that he wasn’t the father, he stewed on it for a week before taking an air rifle to his wife. He has been given an indeterminate sentence. His wife escaped through the bathroom window, ran to a taxi office and finally spoke, through fear, under a desk to police.

“Matters came to a head when he had too much to drink and the situation from became intolerable.”
