Colonel stalked his ex-partner and put tracker on her car
Daily Express
|July 23, 2025
A RETIRED British Army colonel has been spared a jail sentence after his ex-partner became suicidal from his “relentless” stalking.
Col Terry Southwood, 57, bombarded Sarah Crossley-Weir with messages, sent her flowers and turned up at her home several times after she ended their four-year relationship.
He even placed a tracker in her car to find out where she was.
A court heard his “relentless” behaviour left her so frightened she beefed up her home security, adding alarms and cameras, and was given a police phone to use in an emergency.
She said she was too scared even to open the door to let her cats in and had to take medication for anxiety, eventually feeling “suicidal”.
Arrested
Sandhurst graduate Col Southwood, who had an “exemplary” 37-year Army career, blamed his behaviour on PTSD after he was arrested.
