A former care worker sent vile abuse to her ex-colleagues after being sacked from her job.

Ann Marie Hunter called one woman a “rotten Muslim cow” and told another she was a “worst c**t” via email and text messages.

The 46-year-old was employed as a senior support worker for the Richmond Fellowship but had been dismissed in September 2021.

An ex-colleague of Hunter’s was at home on December 23 last year when she received an email from her which read "should have known you were a wrong c**t” and “you’re a Richmond f***y”.

On Christmas Day, the same woman received another email, saying "c**t” and “rotten Muslim cow”.

Hunter also said she was going to attend the woman’s wedding and everything that belonged to her was going to be destroyed.

On January 5, 2022, the woman received a screenshot from her colleague. This showed messages the woman had received from Hunter.

They said “you’re f*****g now classed as a worst c**t like her”, “you’re a wee cow”, “can’t wait to bump into you”, “remember it’s a small Glasgow when you’re trying to avoid some c**t”.

Police were contacted and attended Hunter’s home on January 9.

At Glasgow Sheriff Court this week, the prosecutor said: “She admitted sending an email saying ‘dirty Muslim cow’ and she was arrested.

“She said, ‘I’m admitting full responsibility, I called her a Muslim cow’. She was interviewed and confirmed the phone number and email address used to send the messages belonged to her.

“She was cautioned and charged and made no reply.”

Hunter’s lawyer said his client lost her job as a result of complaints made by the two women.

He added: “She made a complaint about them, and in turn, they made complaints and she thereafter lost her job.

“She worked in the care sector for years. She’s found other employment and is working in a call centre.

“She was extremely upset having lost her job. She received a call from a number, people were laughing and there was music in the background. She thought they were taunting her.

“She’s extremely remorseful.”

Sheriff Patricia Pryce told Hunter: “I appreciate you have already lost quite a bit as a result of this.

“You can’t use the language that you used – it’s completely unacceptable. Someone who worked in the care service for as long as you should know better.”

Hunter, of Cambuslang, was ordered to carry out 120 hours of unpaid work.
