Despite a restraining order against him, Bannister turned up at the Buckinghamshire home she shares with her son Bear in December, three weeks after Liam\u2019s funeral on 20 November.<\/p>\n Bannister \u2013 who spent 30 months in prison for manslaughter after a man died of his injuries following a savage attack by Bannister at a homeless hostel in 2012 \u2013 has been charged with breaching his restraining order. Court documents show that the stalker entered the county of Buckinghamshire on 10 December, and turned up at \u2018an address where [he] knew or believed Cheryl Tweedy was present\u2019, another separate breach. He also tried to contact the star either directly or indirectly.<\/p>\n The 49 year old was sent back to prison, ahead of his sentencing on 30 January, after he pleaded guilty to the three offences in December.<\/p>\n <\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=”custom-quote” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_font=”Libre Bodoni|||on|||||” header_2_text_align=”center” header_2_text_color=”#333333″ header_2_font_size=”40px” header_2_line_height=”1.2em” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″] Last year, Bannister was given a four-month sentence and a three-year restraining order, banning him from contacting Cheryl, entering Buckinghamshire or visiting her home, after he was found to be \u2018displaying fixated, obsessive, unwanted and repetitive behaviour\u2019 towards the star, which he knew would cause her distress.<\/p>\n He was found guilty of manslaughter after Rajendra Patel died 15 days after he was assaulted by Bannister, who had punched and kicked him. Judge Nicholas Price said as he jailed him, \u2018This is a tragic case. When you attacked Mr Patel you did not intend to cause serious bodily harm, let alone cause death.<\/p>\n ‘But the attack undoubtedly goes beyond one punch, it is a sustained attack or more or less 30 to 40 seconds. It is clear you are not a danger to the public, but it is inevitable that you must serve an immediate custodial sentence.\u2019<\/p>\n <\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/01\/imago263054960-scaled.jpg” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” alt=”Cheryl” title_text=”Global Gift Gala Photocall – Paris Cheryl Cole, Liam Payne attending the Global Gift Gala photocall at Four Seasons Hote” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″] Cheryl\u2019s stalking nightmare comes after she had to increase her security during her West End run in 2:22 A Ghost Story in 2023.
