An aristocrat dubbed the 'face of Royal Ascot' was plagued by a stalker who stood outside her home staring at her and making 'strangling noises', a court heard.
Mirsad Veliji, 43, allegedly mounted a campaign of harassment against Lady Martha Sitwell, 45, between April and August 2022.
He stood in front of her Kensington flat staring in July 2022 and 'made a strangling noise before watching Ms Sitwell', Isleworth Crown Court heard.
On another occasion Veliji 'cycled very close to Ms Sitwell and laughed out loud,' it was said.
Jurors heard he was earlier convicted of assaulting a woman jogging alone in Chelsea in January 2022.
