A THUG who made threats to kill while harassing a woman at her home in Basildon has been jailed. 

Hasan Erdogan, 42, was charged after he was found to have harassed his victim on a number of occasions between January 18 and 29.

He had gone to the property and banged on the windows while also shouting swear words in Turkish. 

Erdogan, of no fixed address, was also charged with attacking a police officer in relation to another incident in Basildon back on January 30.

He appeared at Southend Magistrates Court earlier this month where he admitted both offences.

Erdogan was sentenced to eight weeks in jail with a five-week sentence handed out for the assault on the police officer.

He was handed a further three weeks in prison for harassment.

Court documents state he was jailed because the offences were committed while he was already on bail and because of the threats to kill made during his campaign of harassment.
