A man has breached a restraining order which barred him from contacting Cheryl or entering Buckinghamshire after being jailed for four months last year
Cheryl has been left concerned after a convicted killer stalker returned to her home.
This fresh incident comes after a difficult year for Cheryl, after the death of her ex Liam Payne. She attended his funeral in November, following his death in Argentina on October 16. It was also son Bear's first Christmas without his dad.
The man, Daniel Bannister, who previously killed a man at a homeless hostel, was jailed for four months last year for an offence committed in July. He was found to be "displaying fixated, obsessive, unwanted and repetitive behaviour" towards mum-of-one Cheryl.
As well as jail time, he was given a three-year restraining order which would stop him contacting the Girls Aloud star, going to her address and entering Buckinghamshire. But court documents show that he has been charged with breaching the restraining order.
Bannister allegedly entered Buckinghamshire on December 10 and went to "an address where [he] knew or believed Cheryl Tweedy was present". It's alleged he also tried to contact Cheryl, who lives with son Bear, whom she shared with Liam.
According to The Sun, Bannister pleaded guilty to three offences in December and has been remanded in custody ahead of his sentencing on January 30. It's reported that Cheryl was first sent disturbing messages and flowers during her stint on the West End show 2:22 A Ghost Story.
Back in 2012, Bannister pleaded guilty to manslaughter at Kingston Crown Court after assaulting Rajendra Patel at a homeless shelter in south London. A month after the attack, Patel went back to hospital and tragically died a day later.
His cause of death was ruled to be a fracture to his left ankle, pulmonary thromboembolism and deep vein thrombosis of the left thermeral vein. Bannister had initially been set to go on trial for murder, but the CPS lowered the charge to manslaughter.
It's thought that the two men had been in a long-term feud after living at the homeless shelter. CCTV footage showed Bannister kicking and punching the victim.
At the time of the trial, His Honour Judge Nicholas Price said: "This is a tragic case. When you attacked Mr Patel you did not intend to cause serious bodily harm let alone cause death.
"But the attack undoubtedly goes beyond one punch, it is a sustained attack of more or less 30 to 40 seconds. It is clear you are not a danger to the public, but it is inevitable that you must serve an immediate custodial sentence."
