https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-50212591An "obsessive stalker" who placed a tracking device on his ex-girlfriend's car after their six year relationship ended has been jailed for three years.Basil Thomas bombarded the 46-year-old with letters, emails and visits to her home.
Police said he also followed his victim wearing a mask and on one occasion turned up at her mother's hospice.
Thomas, 50, of Cranleigh Drive in Cheadle, Greater Manchester, was sentenced at Chester Crown Court.
He was found guilty of stalking and handed a fresh restraining order after breaching a previous ban.
Det Con Alison Shields, of Cheshire Police, said: "This case has proved yet again how Thomas is an obsessive stalker.
"Despite knowing the clear distress his behaviour had caused in the past, he dismissed his victim's feelings and continued to cause her pain by going to great lengths to follow her."
I despair of the weak sentences which are handed out, he ignored the restraining order, put on a MASK (?) and then goes stalking her at her mother's hospice, I bet she's glad he's not about at least for the time being.
