Melksham man jailed for 'stalking and threats to kill'
34-year-old Jamie Suggitt pleaded guilty to the offences, as well as criminal damage, at Salisbury Crown Court on Friday
A man from Melksham has been sentenced to 34 months in prison for stalking and threats to kill.
34 year old Jamie Suggitt pleaded guilty to the offences, as well as criminal damage, at Salisbury Crown Court on Friday (November 24).
Police have thanked the bravery of his victim for coming forward.
Local Crime Investigator Debbie Quayle, at Wiltshire Police said: "I would like to thank the bravery of Suggitt's victim for coming forward. Without her we would not have been able to bring the defendant to justice.
"Suggitt would watch and follow his victim, communicating what he would do to her if she told anyone. It took a lot of courage for her to work with us and she was afraid of the repercussions.
"Wiltshire Police will not tolerate this type of behaviour, and take any reports of stalking and threats very seriously."
It's stalking if the unwanted behaviour has happened more than once. If the behaviour is:
- Fixated
- Obsessive
- Unwanted
- Repeated
Then can report the crime or you can contact the National Stalking Helpline for more advice.
You can find out more information on reporting stalking on the Wiltshire Police website.
