A MAN who made a ‘sinister and evil’ phone call to the family housing former Senator Stuart Syvret was fined £200 by the Magistrate’s Court yesterday.

Jonathan Sharrock Haworth (40), of St Helier, told the court that he made the call after being spoken about in derogatory terms on an internet blog site.

He was bound over for six months, was fined £200 and was ordered to pay his victim – Mr Syvet’s landlord – £200 after admitting making the menacing call on 11 March.

It was not revealed in open court which blog site Haworth was referring to, but he said that an inaccurate entry on the site stated that he had been sacked from previous employment.
