A FORMER TV news anchor told a court her "obsessed" next door neighbour "terrorised" her so badly she has had to move out of her own home.
Isla Traquair suffered panic attacks due to the attentions of Jonathan Barrett, who allegedly appeared at her conservatory window at 7am as she was about to undress and on another occasion "chainsawed" a bush in her garden.
The ex-ITV News and Channel 5 News presenter became terrified of "weird" Barrett, who shocked her soon after she moved in by climbing a wall into her garden and entering her house to offer her a sandwich, the court heard.
It was also alleged he would stand outside and stare into the bedroom window of her idyllic 1700s country cottage, on the edge of the Cotswolds.
