A STALKER who sent Nicola Sturgeon a letter "signed in blood" has been found guilty of targeting TV and radio star Myleene Klass.
Peter Windsor posted the Classic FM presenter an air pistol, handcuffs, a police uniform and "disturbing" unwanted letters.
Jurors also convicted Windsor of stalking Klass’s Classic FM colleague Katie Breathwick by sending her details of a DIY will-writing kit and other “raving” and “unhinged” mail.
Jurors reached a unanimous guilty verdict after deliberating for four hours and eight minutes over two days.
Klass told Birmingham Crown Court last week how she felt “sheer terror” after being sent items by Windsor, who has been diagnosed with schizophrenia and claimed to be not guilty by reason of insanity.
Windsor, of Mary Road, Stechford, Birmingham, had denied stalking both Klass and Breathwick by sending items to Classic FM’s central London studios between March 2020 and August 2024.
Jurors reached their unanimous guilty verdicts on Tuesday after deliberating for four hours and eight minutes over two days.
Windsor, wearing a grey sweatshirt, sighed and pursed his lips in the dock as the verdicts were announced.
Judge Tom Rochford told Windsor, who has been on remand throughout his trial, that the options for his sentencing next month include prison or two types of hospital order.
Windsor was first arrested in January 2023 over a letter he sent to former first minister Sturgeon in 2020.
However, a decision was taken not to prosecute him, a trial at Birmingham Crown Court was told.
Windsor gave evidence in his defence last Thursday after agreed facts were read to the jury detailing two letters he sent to Sturgeon in October 2020 and October 2022.
The agreed facts, read into the court record by prosecutor Timothy Sapwell, said of the first letter: "The defendant sent a letter to the first minister for Scotland, Nicola Sturgeon.
"It was signed by him. In it he said that he might visit her to discuss groups of people with whom he appeared to take issue, including Freemasons, politicians and doctors.
"He also said that he pledged his soul to Satan and that the letter was signed in blood. There was some dried blood on it."
