A MAN allegedly beaten to death by three teens on a beach was previously convicted of stalking a woman.
Alexander Cashford, 49, suffered multiple injuries during the horror in Isle of Sheppey, Kent , on Sunday night.
A 16-year-old girl and two boys aged 14 and 15, have been charged with murder by joint enterprise.
According to court documents seen by The Sun, Alexander pleaded guilty to stalking involving serious harm or distress on March 17 this year.
He followed a woman home from work and approached her front door in the early hours of the morning.
The stalker returned seven minutes later and posted a letter and chocolate bar through her door.
Alexander was handed a one-month curfew and was fitted with a tag, which was due to remain on until September 16.
He was also hit with a restraining order blocking contact with the victim and was told to stay away from her street and the Hempstead Valley Shopping Centre in Gillingham.
The new details emerged after his alleged killers wept as they appeared at Medway Magistrates’ Court today charged with murder.
Dylan Bradshaw, prosecuting, said Alexander had headed to the beach at around 7pm.
He was declared dead an hour and five minutes later following a “violent assault”, the court was told.
JPs heard the attack allegedly involved a glass bottle and rocks being thrown.
The girl and two boys, who cannot be named for legal reasons, were believed to have been on holiday at the time.
They have been remanded into youth detention accommodation to appear at Maidstone Crown Court tomorrow.
A 12-year-old girl, arrested on August 12 in Basildon in connection with the alleged attack, remains in custody while enquiries continue.
Police were scrambled to the Warden Bay Road area of Leysdown-on-Sea shortly after 7pm on Sunday following reports of an “altercation”.
Witnesses in Leysdown-on-Sea claimed the man was “hit with stones and rocks” before he died.
Anthony West, site manager at Jimmy G’s Amusements, said the teens were then arrested in the arcade near the seafront.
While store manager Anton Jasnu, 34, who ran out of his shop to help, told The Sun: “I was told at first that someone had had a heart attack, so I went out to see if I could help.
“People were trying to give him CPR and he had tissue on the back of his head, I think they were trying to stem bleeding.”
Detectives are continuing to appeal for any witnesses who have not yet spoken to police to come forward.
Anyone with information has been asked to call Kent Police on 01622 690690 quoting 10-1384.
