Mercedes Harper was convicted of stalking but a judge heard she has mental health issues.

He gave the defendant, 31, of St David's Crescent, Caia Park, Wrexham, a 13-month jail term, suspended for 18 months, for stalking.

He also banned her from contacting her former partner for 10 years.

Caernarfon Crown Court heard Harper had been friends with the victim and things sometimes went further but he ended their relationship.

Prosecutor Amy Edwards described a series of incidents over six months in 2023.

On one occasion Harper was behind him on the stairs and he realised she had cut his back.
