Overview

• Daniel Bannister pleaded guilty at Reading Magistrates’ Court to breaching his restraining order by attending a Buckinghamshire address on June 19 he believed Cheryl Tweedy occupied.
• District Judge Davinder Sandhu refused bail and remanded the 50-year-old in custody until his crown court hearing on September 23.
• Prosecutors told the court that Bannister’s intrusion left Tweedy feeling violated and fearful for her and her son’s safety.
• An indefinite restraining order now bars Bannister from contacting Tweedy or entering any premises where she may be present.
• Bannister, who was jailed for manslaughter in 2012 and served 16 weeks in March for previous breaches of the same order, could face a maximum five-year term if sentenced at the top of the range.
