Defendant Denies Stalking in Classic FM Case as Jury Hears of 'Blood‑Signed' Sturgeon Letter

Peter Windsor tells jurors he staged a 'pretend' performance under an insanity defence.

Overview

  • The trial at Birmingham Crown Court concerns two counts of stalking causing serious alarm or distress involving Myleene Klass and Katie Breathwick between 2020 and 2024.
  • Prosecutors say Windsor sent items to Classic FM’s London studios that included an air pistol intercepted by Royal Mail, handcuffs and a DIY will kit.
  • Klass testified she felt sheer terror over the escalating parcels, while Breathwick described panic attacks, security escorts from the studio and installing home cameras.
  • Agreed facts read to the jury say Windsor sent Nicola Sturgeon two letters in 2020 and 2022, including one described as signed in blood, with Police Scotland later deciding not to prosecute.
  • Police searching his Birmingham home reported finding maps of the presenters’ workplaces, a glove, women’s stockings and binoculars; Windsor, 61, has no previous convictions and denies stalking.
