A grieving mum was left petrified when her ex partner stalked her days after they lost their twins.
The pregnant woman had already moved home to get away from Kevin Myers but he tracked her down after her employer inadvertently disclosed her new address in a letter sent to her former home, where he still was.
Newcastle Crown Court heard Myers was given a restraining order in April preventing him from contacting his ex partner, after he was convicted of common assault. Emma Dowling, prosecuting, said: "She was pregnant with twins. Sadly they were lost and as a result of the bereavement she agreed to allow a third party to have limited contact with the defendant in the presence of a nurse for the purposes of discussing what had happened.
