A former murder accused, who was acquitted, became "entirely fixated" with a Home Office pathologist who gave evidence in the trial 18 years ago, and stalked him, a judge found. After three days of evidence at Nottingham Magistrates' Court, Shane Hudson was found guilty of stalking pathologist Professor Guy Rutty MBE, who he had never even met.
His disturbing behaviour came after his release from prison for another offence. Hudson, who has three aliases, tried to contact the pathologist via his personal assistant, through call operators at the Royal Leicester Infirmary and by email.
The professor gave evidence in 2005 in the case involving some of Hudson's family members who were found guilty of the horrific murder of Shane Hudson's sister-in-law Rachel Hudson.
