Dumped Dad-Of-Two Stalked Ex At Harvey Nichols

Happier Times: Fernando & Angelica 

A Colombian father-of-two, struggling to accept the end of a thirty-year relationship, stalked his ex at her Harvey Nichols workplace and allegedly assaulted her.

Fernando Carmona, 49, a Westgate area manager, turned up at the exclusive Knightsbridge department store in an “aggressive” manner, demanding to see her.

He also made threatening calls, vowing to kill his ex’s new boyfriend.

He pleaded guilty at Westminster Magistrates Court on Tuesday to stalking Angelica Montealegre between January 12 and 15.

However, Carmona, of Quinton House, Wyvil Road, Vauxhall denied assaulting her at Pollard House, Northdown Street, Islington on January 13.

He was bailed to stand trial on that charge at Hendon Magistrates Court on February 19.

Prosecutor Mr. Edward Cohen told the court, where Carmona appeared in custody: “This is a domestic incident involving a couple whose thirty-year relationship is coming to and end.

“The defendant is not able to move on from that and there are issues that are getting worse by the day.

“He has pleaded guilty to sending abusive voicemails to the victim. They were of a threatening nature, saying that he would kill her new partner.

“This new parter has been a real turning point.

“He turned up at Harvey Nichols demanding to speak to her in an aggressive way.

“He threw a telephone at the complainant after she disclosed she had a new partner.”

Carmona denies throwing the phone.

He was described as “very emotional” when questioned by police. “He was not in a calm manner and was in an agitated state,” explained Mr. Cohen.
