Man on Trial Over Mail to Myleene Klass, Colleague

A jury has been sworn at Birmingham Crown Court to try 61‑year‑old Peter Windsor, who denies stalking TV and radio presenter Myleene Klass and her Classic FM colleague Katie Breathwick by sending unwanted letters and parcels to their workplace between 2020 and 2024. Prosecutors say the packages included overtly sexual letters and items — from handcuffs, a silver ring and fancy‑dress outfits to an air pistol that was intercepted by Royal Mail — and notes addressed to Klass using sexualised language. Klass told jurors she felt “sheer terror”, was shielded from Windsor’s view in the witness box, increased her home security and was phoned by police during the school run about the weapon. Breathwick described receiving “raving” and “unhinged” mail, including a DIY will‑writing kit, champagne and running spikes, that left her fearing for her safety. Windsor denies the allegations and the defence will call psychiatric evidence, with references in court to schizophrenia and the possibility of a verdict of not guilty by reason of insanity; Judge Tom Rochford warned jurors not to conduct their own online research.
