In 2018 she got a suspended jail term for poo throwing, spraying a hose at Ms Richards, wielding a knife and using weedkiller on their plants.

Last year Minns was given a restraining order. Last week she was back in court for four breaches of the order.

The court heard she blasted music, dumped leaves on the couple’s cat and assaulted Mr Authers.

Minns, from Falmouth, Cornwall, admitted the offences at Truro crown court and got six months in prison, suspended.
