While trying to come to terms with the loss of former One Direction member, Liam Payne’s ex-girlfriend Cheryl Tweedy is faced with the disturbing reality of being hunted by a convicted murderer.
According to reports, Daniel Bannister, 49, became unhealthily attached to the Girls Aloud singer, 41. He came to her house without permission because of his obsession, where she lived with her seven-year-old son, Bear Payne.
He was sentenced to four months in prison last September. In addition, he was given a three-year restraining order and banned from entering Buckinghamshire, The UK Sun reports.
On December 10, a few weeks after Payne’s funeral, this newspaper reported that Bannister made another surprise visit to Tweedy’s house.
The suspect reportedly admitted to three crimes that occurred that month. He is being held in custody and is scheduled to be sentenced on January 30.
Following a disturbing surveillance incident while she was starring in the West End production of “2:22 A Ghost Story,” Tweedy made the decision to increase security measures in March 2023. The atmosphere in Her nightly performances were affected by the presence of disturbing notes left for her at the theater.
After being convicted of causing the untimely death of his neighbor, Rajendra Patel, in 2012, Bannister spent two and a half years in prison. The incident began as Patel was walking towards the elevator when Bannister viciously attacked him with a series of punches and kicks.
Fifteen days after the incident, Patel died of pulmonary thrombosis related to the assault.
News of Tweedy’s stalker comes after a thorough investigation, with Payne’s tragic and early death on October 16, 2024 officially determined to be “multiple traumatic injuries”.
