A stalker who bombarded a former Miss England with nine months of messages made her feel like a "shell of a person" who can't find joy in anything. Dhawal Chaudhary, of no fixed address, has been issued a hospital order and must remain at the Wells Road Centre in Nottingham until he is deemed fit to be released.
He'd been bombarding Stephanie Hill, from Derbyshire, and her partner with a large number of messages via social media between October 2020 and June 2021, despite having never met the pair. Chaudhary was arrested at Heathrow Airport in July 2021 after arriving back in the UK on a flight from India, The Mirror reports.
Addressing the court, which had members of Chaudhary's family in attendance virtually from India, Sarah Slater, prosecuting, said that Miss Hill believed he became infatuated with her when she went to India in 2018.
