Birmingham Man Found Guilty of Stalking Myleene Klass and Classic FM Colleague After Postal Campaign

Jurors rejected his insanity plea ahead of sentencing next month.

Overview

  • Peter Windsor, 61, was convicted at Birmingham Crown Court of stalking Myleene Klass and Katie Breathwick after jurors deliberated for four hours and eight minutes.
  • He sent scores of unsolicited parcels and letters over several years, including an air pistol addressed to Klass that was intercepted before delivery, plus handcuffs and a police uniform.
  • Prosecutors said Windsor mailed Breathwick between 80 and 100 items from March 2020 to December 2023, including a DIY will-writing kit, spiked running shoes, binoculars and champagne.
  • Klass described feeling ‘sheer terror,’ and Breathwick testified she changed routines, installed home cameras and arranged security escorts from the London studio.
  • Windsor, who has a longstanding diagnosis of schizophrenia, advanced an insanity defense that the jury rejected; the judge said sentencing options include prison or hospital orders, and evidence included maps of the presenters’ workplaces and a prior letter to Nicola Sturgeon described as signed in blood.
