Convicted killer jailed after turning up at Cheryl Tweedy's home for fourth time
Daniel Bannister was sentenced to 12 months after repeatedly breaching a restraining order by visiting singer Ms Tweedy's home four times, causing her significant distress, court heard.
- Daniel Bannister, 50, a convicted killer and stalker, was sentenced to 12 months in jail on Tuesday at Reading Crown Court for breaching a restraining order by visiting Cheryl Tweedy's home for a fourth time.
- He breached the order despite a three-year restraining order issued last September, with the latest violation occurring on June 19 when he arrived at Tweedy's rural Buckinghamshire home after ringing the intercom twice.
- The court heard Bannister, a musician and former figure skater, believed Tweedy had invited him via Microsoft Teams, and she said in a victim impact statement that Bannister's visits caused her anxiety and forced her to hire personal security.
- Judge Alan Blake told Bannister that he was disregarding the court’s instructions, emphasizing that the woman did not want any contact with him and that his actions were causing her distress, and advised him to put an end to this behaviour.
- The sentencing reflects ongoing concerns for Tweedy's safety and emotional wellbeing, as Bannister's actions have made her nervous, scared, and fearful for her eight-year-old son, highlighting the need to end his repeated breaches.
