A MAN has been handed a suspended sentence after breaking the terms of a banning order by staying at his victim's home.

Mariusz Brzoska entered a guilty plea when he appeared before magistrates in Kidderminster.

The court heard the 39-year-old had breached the terms of a restraining order between March 29 and 30 by staying at the address of a person he was banned from contacting.

MORE FROM THE COURTS:

Magistrates said the offence was serious as the banning order had been breached shortly after it was imposed.

They handed Brzoska, who is of no fixed address, an eight-week prison sentence, which was suspended for 12 months as the original complainant was complicit in allowing him to stay at her home.

He must pay costs of £185 and a £128 victim surcharge.
