A woman "infatuated" with her childhood best friend began harassing her again as soon as she was released from prison.
Keelie Murphy has previously been locked up three times for obsessively pestering Gemma Ellison. But after being freed from jail, she immediately resumed her campaign of harassment - bombarding the mum's workplace with constant phone calls which caused the family business to grind to a halt.
Liverpool Crown Court heard yesterday, Wednesday, the pair had been friends since the age of 10 but the relationship "soured" after Murphy, from Woolton, "developed an infatuation" with Ms Ellison. The two had not spoken for many years, but got back in touch during 2017.
