A 31-year-old man from Milton Keynes has been charged with stalking ‘with fear of violence’ and assault offences.

Richard Opoku, 31, was the subject of a police search last month after being linked to an incident of “stalking with fear of violence” that happened in Caldecotte shortly before 1am on Thursday, April 11.

Opoku, of Seaton Grove in Milton Keynes, was charged with stalking with fear of violence, engaging in coercive/controlling behaviour, assault occasioning actual bodily harm and assault by beating on Tuesday, April 23.

It follows a Thames Valley Police investigation into the incident which involved a public appeal to help track down the 31-year-old.

Members of the public were warned not to approach Opoku if they spotted him.

He was remanded in custody and is due to appear at Aylesbury Crown Court on Tuesday, May 28.
