A MAN appeared in court today charged with threatening to kill his wife and assault.

Stephen Lee, 57, of Plumpton Close, Wrose, had his case at Bradford Crown Court adjourned by Judge Mark Savill so a victim impact statement and other reports could be prepared.

Judge Savill described Lee as an intelligent man, and said Lee was a man of "good character" who was appearing before him over a very serious matter.

As part of his bail conditions, Lee must stay away from his home address.

Lee's case was adjourned until June 3 this year.
