A Dunedin businessman who was stalked for more than two and a-half years by a government employee was convinced the man would kill him. ‘‘I thought ‘he’s lost the plot and he’s going to do it’.’’The family man convinced himself he was going to be executed outside his front gate, like Scott Guy was in 2010. It showed the man had accessed the victim’s company website an hour before a photo from it appeared on the dating site. He’s thought every move out quite thoroughly and executed . After convicting the defendant yesterday the judge indicated jail was not likely, but the man was likely to spend some months attending counselling.
