Chester Magistrates Court
A CHESTER man who spent months harassing his twin sister by bombarding her with malicious texts, voicemails and calls has been spared immediate jail.
David Anthony Perry, 42, of Western Avenue, had previously pleaded guilty on the day his trial was due to begin to harassing his twin sister Ellen Perry between June and July 2020.
At Chester Magistrates Court on Friday, February 12, Perry was banned from contacting her in any way for 12 months via a restraining order, and handed a 12-week prison sentence which was suspended for 12 months.
Prosecuting, Alan Currums said the victim had described the relationship between the pair as "rocky", and had deteriorated in recent years due to the defendant's heavy drinking and suspected substance misuse.
