London: A Turkish
stalker of a British woman whom he met seven years ago in Cyprus
was arrested after he sailed over 2,500 miles to Britain searching
for her.
The 38-year-old, Ramazan Noyan Culum, was on holiday in Cyprus in
2005 when he began harassing pretty Courtney Murray after she
served him at a restaurant, The Sun reported.
He is believed to have met the waitress briefly as she served him
in a Cypriot restaurant, while he was on a scuba diving holiday in
2005.
He once stole her phone number and is claimed to have repeatedly
showed up at her workplace - once wielding a knife - before the
terrified Courtney fled back to Britain.
But the 'love-struck' businessman refused to give up - writing an
online blog begging the blonde to marry him - before setting off
by boat on a seven-month quest to track her down.
During his 'love' journey, Culum kept updating his blog - "Hunger
Strike For Courtney Murray" - where Courtney's friends and family
posted comments calling him a "fruitcake stalker".
Culum was arrested by customs officials, after finding him aboard
his tiny yacht in the English Channel following an exhausting
2,500 mile journey. He was now all set to be sent back to Turkey.
