A killer thug nicknamed 'the Bootle bully' says he intends to move to Wirral when released from prison.
Peter Hillman stabbed a 17-year-old boy to death after terrorising residents across north Liverpool as a teen.
The ASBO yob was branded a danger to society and indefinitely locked up over killing Alexandros Laou in 2005.
The then 19-year-old, who admitted manslaughter, spent a decade behind bars, before his release from jail in 2015.
But he was Tasered and arrested at gunpoint by armed police, following an incident in Netherton, on March 25 last year.
The now 33-year-old was accused of stabbing his neighbour Rachel McKenna at her St Christopher's Avenue home.
Prosecutors alleged Hillman tried to bite her left ear off while high on cocaine and naked except for a pair of sliders.
They said he bit the "terrified" woman's left cheek, then her ear repeatedly, "as if he was trying to rip her ear off".
DNA found in a wound to her cheek was said to match his and officers discovered 39 wraps of crack cocaine in his flat.
However, he denied wounding with intent, an alternative charge of unlawful wounding, and possessing cocaine with intent to supply.
Hillman said any force he used was in self-defence, he never bit Ms McKenna, and that the drugs were planted by a neighbour.
Jurors - who had been told about his conviction for manslaughter - found him not guilty of all charges, after a four-day trial.
The beaming killer clapped, shouted "thank you" and gave a thumbs up to the jury, some of whom smiled back, last week.
Hillman had earlier admitted possessing cannabis found at his flat, a charge which he fell to be sentenced for at Liverpool Crown Court today.
He was recalled on licence as a result of the incident in March 2018 and has been in custody for the last 20 months.
Under the terms of his 2005 Imprisonment for Public Protection (IPP), he will not be released until a parole board decides he is no longer a risk.
Anya Horwood, prosecuting, today applied for a restraining order on behalf of Ms McKenna, despite Hillman being cleared of attacking her.
Julian Nutter, defending, questioned whether the facts of the case amounted to harassment and whether the order was appropriate.
He said that when Hillman is released from jail, he doesn't intend to return to the area and plans to move to Wirral.
Judge Louise Brandon said his last conviction in 2016 was for possessing cannabis and he received a jail term in 2013 for assault.
She said police found two snap bags containing a small amount of cannabis when they searched his flat after the incident.
The judge said: "During the trial you told the jury it belonged to you and you were until recently a 'pothead' and had been smoking in your flat and outside when you exercised your dog."
Judge Brandon said one aggravating feature of the case was that at the time he was on licence as a result of his IPP.
She said: "You committed this offence when you knew full well you were on licence. You, as I'm sure you're aware, shouldn't be near drugs.
"You told the jury you were in constant fear of getting in trouble because of your IPP status, but this offence shows you were prepared to take that risk.
"The reality is because of your present status you will not be released from custody until the parole board deem you suitable for release."
The judge handed Hillman five days in jail, before moving on to the matter of the restraining order.
She said: "You told the jury you saw Rachel McKenna on the stairs and that you told her to open the window.
"You approached her on that day, in the sense you felt the need to raise with her the smell that was bothering you.
"You told the jury how irritated you were with the smell you said coming from her flat and her cats.
"She told the jury she was frightened of you."
Judge Brandon said an order was necessary to protect Ms McKenna from conduct that amounted to harassment from Hillman.
She said he must not contact her or enter St Christopher's Avenue for five years.
Hillman, appearing on video link from HMP Liverpool, shouted: "What happens if she tells lies again?"
Judge Brandon replied: "Mr Hillman, that concludes your hearing."
