A Lympstone-based Royal Marine commando has been remanded in custody after pleading not guilty to threatening to kill a former girlfriend.
Bobby Burnett was due to be tried at Exeter Crown Court this week but the case was adjourned and it hoped the case will be heard next month.
Burnett, aged 30, whose address was given as the Commando Training Centre at Lympstone, denies two counts of making threats to kill his ex partner Samantha Chudley.
He also denies putting her in fear of violence by harassment between July 31, 2012 and August 13, 2014 and assault by battery on April 26, 2014.
Judge Phillip Wassall adjourned all the cases at Exeter Crown Court and fixed a provisional trial date for late March.
He refused an application by defence barrister Mr Brian Fitzherbert that Burnett be allowed to return to the Royal Marine barracks at Lympstone. He was remanded in custody.
