Jilted man who bombarded ex-girlfriend with unwanted 116 bank transfers in just 12 weeks is handed restraining order after she dumped him

A jilted man who bombarded his ex-girlfriend with 116 bank transfers in 12 weeks and branded her a ‘home-wrecking s**g’ in a slew of abusive messages after she dumped him has been issued a restraining order.

According to Mail Online, Sacha Cohen-Chowdhury, 39, sent unwanted bank transfers ranging from 1p to £25 to Heather Butcher after she ended their relationship due to his jealous behaviour.

In each online transaction, Cohen-Chowdhury would leave a message in the reference section for Miss Butcher to see.

Some transactions had references saying ‘Have an awesome week babe’, and ‘Cannot stop crying for you,’ while others read ‘Home wrecking s**g’, and ‘Just accept it, you are a s**g.’

Cohen-Chowdhury also sent flowers to Miss Butcher’s mother and a gift parcel from the luxury café chain ‘Betty’s Tea Room’ to her sister.

The former company director from Chester, who currently tutors GCSE students, was reported to police after he emailed Miss Butcher’s employer and smeared her as a ‘fraudster’ claiming she was sleeping with other men.

His actions were said to have left Miss Butcher feeling ‘scared and stressed’.

At Warrington magistrates court, Cohen-Chowdhury was banned from contacting his ex for three years after he admitted harassment between April 1, 2022, and December 31, 2022. The restraining order forbids him from contacting or approaching Miss Butcher, or her workplace in Yorkshire, by any means, including through social media.

The court heard the couple had been together for seven and a half years but split up in April 2022.

Miss Butcher, of Wigan, Greater Manchester, said in a statement: ‘He became increasingly jealous, accusing me of looking at other people and other people looking at me.

‘Once in Nandos, we had to return to the car, after he accused me of looking at another man and it ended in an argument.

‘Almost every week there was an incident or he would shout at me. He did not stop me doing anything but made me feel bad about engaging with him.
