A “compulsive” stalker who has had an “insatiable desire” to speak with former BBC Newsnight presenter Emily Maitlis for the past 30 years has told a jury he would still write letters to her if he was freed from prison.
Edward Vines is alleged to have attempted to breach a restraining order in relation to Ms Maitlis eight times between May 2020 and December 2021, with letters addressed to her and her mother sent from HMP Nottingham.
