Overview
- Rowland, 58, is charged with stalking by attending the property more than once between June 1 and October 1 and with harassment without violence up to October 6.
- Lady Davey told the court that in September he walked through the outside door into the porch as carers tried to stop him, prompting her to pray while inside.
- She said the couple’s 17-year-old son, who has severe disabilities and two carers, and their 11-year-old daughter were at home during the incidents, and that the address is not public.
- Lady Davey gave evidence from behind a screen that shielded her from the defendant, as Sir Ed Davey watched from the public gallery and helped her enter and leave the court.
- Court records show Rowland previously admitted possessing a flick knife in the Borough of Kingston on October 6, and he was a Liberal Democrat member at the time of the alleged offences.
