A REVELLER stalked a Midland woman on Facebook, threatening to kill her and her best friend after meeting her in a Birmingham nightclub.
Craig Beet, from Chaucer Grove, Acocks Green, had earlier been cautioned by police for harassing Georgina Henshaw, from Solihull, in October 2008.
Then in March last year the 37-year-old was fined by Solihull magistrates for damaging two cars belonging to Miss Henshaw’s parents.
In the three months prior to that he had sent a series of emails about Miss Henshaw to her best friend Katie Hunt.
And on May 18 he was given a community order and made subject to a restraining order banning him from contacting either of the two young women either directly or indirectly.
But while on bail between the two hearings he continued to contact Miss Hunt on her Facebook site.
When she refused to respond he sent a series of messages to Miss Hunt, including one which said: “We’re going to kill your friend.”
Warwick Crown Court heard that Beet had developed an ‘unhealthy obsession’ with his victim after meeting her in a club.
But Beet escaped an immediate prison sentence after the Judge heard there had been no further incidents since May last year.
Beet had pleaded guilty to charges of harassment and breaching the restraining order.
He was sentenced to 36 weeks in prison suspended for 18 months, ordered to do 150 hours of unpaid work and made subject to a new 18-month restraining order banning him from making any contact with either of the young women.
