Update October 11th, 2018 12:02pm:
A past report from the Ipswich Star reveals that Lovecraft was previously diagnosed with schizophrenia and was treated and released. It also mentions that he insinuated that he was in fact Dani Filth himself and the real father of Dani and Toni‘s daughter.
Original Story:
An obsessed Cradle Of Filth fan identified as 29-year-old ‘Lucifer Lovecraft‘ (real name James Bird) has been deemed unfit to plead or stand trial. Lovecraft had been accused of stalking the home of Cradle Of Filth frontman Dani Filth, having been seen wandering the yards of Dani‘s Ipswich, UK home this past June on two occasions and shouting at Dani‘s wife Toni through the letterbox—incidents which led to his arrest.
According to BBC, Lovecraft claimed to be Dani himself upon his arrest and was found to have a tattoo of Dani‘s daughter’s name on his arm. Lovecraft had also allegedly been sending messages to Toni via Facebook around the time of the incident.
He was facing a number of charges related to both aforementioned incident and others, including stalking, assaulting a woman, assaulting a man and exhibiting racially aggravated threatening behavior to another man.
Lovecraft‘s legal representative, John Hughes, described his client as being “very ill” and prosecutors have since dropped the charges as Lovecraft has since been moved to a psychiatric hospital to receive treatment.
