Overview
- Peter Windsor, 61, testified at Birmingham Crown Court and denied two counts of stalking causing serious alarm or distress involving Myleene Klass and Katie Breathwick.
- Agreed facts read to the jury detailed letters Windsor sent to Nicola Sturgeon in 2020 and 2022, including one he said was signed in blood and pledged his soul to Satan, with police later deciding not to prosecute in Scotland.
- Windsor said he viewed the items and notes as a 'pretend weird' acting stunt to gain attention and argued that sending unsolicited gifts did not meet his understanding of stalking.
- Evidence shown to jurors included an air pistol intercepted by Royal Mail for Klass and a range of items sent to Breathwick such as handcuffs, a DIY will kit, a stamp collection, champagne, perfume and spiked running shoes, alongside sexually charged and eccentric notes.
- Klass told the court she felt sheer terror, and Breathwick described panic attacks, security measures and disrupted routines; Windsor has schizophrenia and is relying on an insanity defence as the trial continues.
