Phillip Ashton, 42, of Swansea, turned up at her home and said he would go “ballistic” if she did not let him in, despite being made subject to a restraining order preventing him from approaching her and contacting her after he was convicted of stalking her last year.

Cardiff Crown Court heard that on October 13, the victim received a phone call from a withheld number and recognised the defendant's voice when he said her name.
