Birmingham Neighbour Found Guilty of Stalking Joe Lycett After Months of Threats and Loitering

Sentencing was adjourned to April 24 following a judge’s order for a psychiatric assessment.

Overview

  • The 34-year-old neighbour was convicted at Birmingham Magistrates’ Court for a course of conduct from August to January involving posts on X and loitering outside the home.
  • Evidence included messages naming Lycett’s street and referencing his baby, plus Ring footage of shouting outside in the early hours.
  • One January post warned, "You are in the deepest hell, you will die very soon," which prosecutors described as the most menacing message.
  • District Judge Tanweer Ikram ordered a pre-sentence report and psychiatric assessment after Egerton’s repeated courtroom outbursts and his claim of prior sectioning.
  • Egerton was granted bail under conditions barring contact with Lycett or attendance on part of the street, as Lycett voiced safety fears but urged support for the defendant.
