LESBIAN LUST OF HAMMER RAMPAGE GOTH

Obsessed women caged for four years

- By COLIN HURST news@sundayspor­t.co.uk

A GOTH who became “infatuated” with her female boss after she sent a text message with a kiss has been jailed after attacking her with a hammer.

Naomi Wheeler, 31, became “obsessed” with Heather Wilkinson after misinterpr­eting text messages she sent to all her staff, which she always ended with an ‘x’.

She bombarded Ms Wilkinson with calls and text messages and even sent her a card with her “scent on it” during a terrifying stalking campaign, York Crown Court heard.

Prosecutor Gerald Hendron said Wheeler had been referred to a clinical psychologi­st to “work with her on relationsh­ips and help manage her emotions”.

Wheeler told the psychiatri­st she planned to kill Ms Wilkinson by “stoving her head in” and also “hammer to death” a second person, her ex-teacher from secondary school.

Mr Hendron said Wheeler made “detailed plans”, including how she intended to use a hammer to strike Ms Wilkinson.

Intimate

The court heard Ms Wilkinson was a wellliked cleaner manager at the Blue Dolphin Holiday Park in Filey, North Yorks, where Wheeler had worked since April 2018.

In the first year there was no problem with Wheeler’s work or behaviour and Ms Wilkinson “looked after her”.

But then Wheeler began misinterpr­eting text messages which Ms Wilkinson sent to all her staff, which she always ended with an ‘x’.

Mr Hendron said: “Wheeler thought that was Ms Wilkinson wanting to be more intimate with her.

“Wheeler told one member of staff that she was in love with Ms Wilkinson.”

The staff member told Ms Wilkinson, who kept a profession­al relationsh­ip with Wheeler but otherwise tried to avoid her.

By 2020, Wheeler’s “infatuatio­n” with Ms Wilkinson turned into an “obsession” and she began bombarding her with text messages, asking if she could return to work at the holiday park.

Ms Wilkinson ignored the texts and did not hear from Wheeler again until March 2021, when she was again inundated with “nasty” texts and Facebook messages.

The court heard Wheeler had also been “obsessing over her ex-teacher for 14 years”.

After revealing her death threats to the psychiatri­st, Wheeler went looking for Ms Wilkinson at the holiday park with a hammer in her bag.

Wheeler ran at her with the hammer and was about to strike when another staff member appeared and took her to ground.

Wheeler admitted stalking, making threats to kill and possessing an offensive weapon.

She was jailed for four years.
