THE former lover of a man accused of sending a bomb threat to two airports in her name has discussed a bizarre series of e-mails which said his manhood would be “put in a box”.

The woman confirmed she received a string of messages purporting to be between Russel Zoryk and an unknown person which said Zoryk would be “killed and tortured” and threatened to “put his manhood in a box”.

Giving evidence in Zoryk’s trial at Teesside Crown Court, she said she believed it was a reference taken from popular television drama Game of Thrones and at first believed the messages may have been sent by another friend.

The prosecution claim that having been rejected by his girlfriend, 25-year-old Zoryk made her life, that of her new partner and their families a “total misery”.

He allegedly sent vile messages over the internet, hid behind fake identities and tried to cover his tracks by casting suspicion onto others.

Zoryk, 25, denies sending a Twitter message on November 19, 2015 to Newcastle and Durham Tees Valley airports from an account he created in his ex-partner’s name which said: “Thought #parisattacks were bad, wait for my luggage gifts. Death to the infidels. #allahackbar #ISIS”.

He denies two counts of stalking the complainant and her new partner between May 2014 and November 2015 as well as sending a threatening letter to his former lover’s grandfather at his home in Middlesbrough.

The letter contained a white powder, which turned out to be dried potato powder, and said: “Hope this kills you”.

Zoryk, from Muirfield Drive, Derby, is also pleading not guilty to three counts of intimidation arising from threatening e-mails sent to detectives investigating the complaints against him.

The witness said a friend referred to Zoryk as a “recluse” since he rarely left the house when they lived together and referred to him in an apparently derogatory fashion as a “white South African”.

The trial continues.
