Myleene Klass’ stalker was found guilty on Tuesday after sending her ‘disturbing’ unwanted letters and an air pistol
Myleene Klass has said her home is now like “Fort Knox” and “Alcatraz” after a stalker posted an air pistol, handcuffs and “disturbing” unwanted letters to her work.
Peter Windsor, 61, was found guilty of stalking Klass, whom he sent unwanted letters, a police uniform, handcuffs and an air pistol. He was also found guilty of stalking her Classic FM colleague Katie Breathwick, to whom he also posted “unhinged” letters and details of a will-writing kit.
Klass told the court about the “sheer terror” of discovering numerous items had been sent to Central FM’s London studios. She had previously not been told about the letters, as people did not want to worry her.
After the verdict, she said she was “looking over shoulder” because of Windsor, especially since the gun could have killed someone had it not been intercepted by Royal Mail.
She told press: “As the police have pointed out, the fact that the gun wasn’t opened is a literal lifesaver, because whilst it was an air pistol, at six foot it’s still fatal.
“It was in a parcel. Think of the hands that would have touched that parcel from the post office all the way through to my colleagues at work, through to the person delivering the parcel, the girls at reception, who work at the reception where I work.
“All I’ve done is play through how many people would have held the box with the gun in it before it got to me. You’re always looking over your shoulder. You have to remember I didn’t know what my stalker looked like.” Pictures of Windsor have now been released.
Klass added that her home now has increased security. “It’s like literally Fort Knox now. We live in Alcatraz now,” she said. “I have to be careful. I don’t want to become my own prisoner. I certainly don’t want that for my family.”
Windsor denied stalking Klass and Breathwick and sending either of them unwanted items and letters between March 2020 and August 2024.
The court heard how he had also previously been arrested, but not prosecuted, for sending Nicola Sturgeon a letter in October 2020, which he claimed to have “signed in blood” and which “pledged his soul to Satan”. Windsor said the letter was “just a joke” and that his gifts to Klass and Breathwick were part of a “pretend weird” acting performance.
Jurors at Birmingham Crown Court reached a unanimous guilty verdict after four hours and eight minutes of deliberation over two days. Windsor’s sentencing is due to happen next month, but at the trial, Judge Tom Rochford told Windsor that his options are either prison or two types of hospital order, as the 61-year-old suffers from mental health conditions including paranoid schizophrenia.
