Painter Walter Kershaw jailed after 13-year stalking campaign against life model Catherine Mitchell

A popular British painter has been jailed for four years after a 'predatory stalking campaign' dating back to 2008. 
Walter Kershaw, 81, who was dubbed Britain's 'original Banksy', repeatedly hounded Catherine Mitchell, 51, after their affair ended in 2007.
Rochdale-born Kershaw conducted a 'predatory' stalking campaign lasting 13 years, which included pursuing his ex-lover around their hometown and telling her she was beautiful.
The painter would also send life model Mitchell love letters and romantic cards and would drive slowly passed her home blowing kisses at her.
Despite Mitchell's best efforts, which included taking taxis around town and using muddy fields at the back of her home, she could not avoid her prolific stalker.
