Daniel Bannister was jailed for two-and-a-half years for the manslaughter of his neighbour Rajendra Patel in Croydon in 2012.
Bannister had attacked 48-year-old Rajendra leaving him with bruising and swelling to the left side of his face, a broken nose and a fractured ankle and he died 15 days later of a pulmonary thromboembolism, due to deep venous thrombosis of the left femoral vein due to the ankle fracture.
The court heard that Rajendra and Bannister had a long running feud and Bannister complained that Rajendra had been keeping him awake at night.
On Thursday, June 27, Bannister leaded guilty to a single charge of breaching a restraining order at Reading Magistrates’ Court.
He was remanded into custody to appear at Reading Crown Court on September 23.
A court previously heard Bannister “can’t stay away” from the singer and was jailed for 16 weeks at Wycombe Magistrates’ Court in March for repeatedly turning up at her Buckinghamshire home while under a restraining order.
He was initially jailed for four months in September last year where he was handed a three-year restraining order, but breached it by turning up at her home in December.
During the hearing in which Bannister was jailed for 16 weeks, the court heard Cheryl “immediately panicked” and was “terrified” when she saw him outside her home – fearing for the safety of her eight-year-old son Bear.
Cheryl’s former partner Liam Payne died last year in Buenos Aires, Argentina, after falling from his third-floor hotel balcony.
She described the ex-One Direction star’s death as “indescribably painful”.
She also voiced fears about protecting their son.
