Chilling moment stalker kicks colleague’s door armed with condoms after threatening to rape her when she rejected him
THIS is the chilling moment a stalker armed with condoms hammered at a colleague’s door after threatening to rape her when she rejected him.
Karl Chads launched a twisted campaign against Grace Smith despite the pair meeting just three times.
Grace was left terrified by his campaign of harassment[/caption]The 42-year-old bombarded her with abusive messages and broke into her London home.
He also told her boyfriend Daryl: “I’m a gangster, I’ll rape her in front of you and blow your head off.”
Eerie footage shows Chads showing up at Grace’s home in the dead of night and smashing his fist against the front door.
The stalker, who had seven condoms stuffed in his trousers, eventually broke in through a bathroom window and stole her teenage journal.
Bid writer Grace has now spoken out after Chads was jailed for 13 years for stalking with fear of violence.
The judge branded him “dangerous” as he was also sentenced for burglary, criminal damage and trespassing with the intent to commit a relevant sexual offence.
Grace, 31, said: “During Karl’s campaign of harassment I felt unsafe and feared for my life. Terrified he’d kidnap and rape me.
“Knowing he’s now behind bars gives me some comfort. Thankfully he’s finally off the streets, unable to harm anyone else.”
The pair first met in October 2022 when Chads joined her workplace but only occasionally spoke on Microsoft Teams meetings.
Grace thought he was a “bit of an oddball” and even joked to a pal he was “probably a serial killer” due to his strange demeanour.
In May 2023, the co-workers attended a meeting in Birmingham and later made small talk on the train back to London.
The pair next met again two months later at a team building team, where Grace noticed Chads staring at her.
But they did not come face-to-face again until October last year when their team were awarded afternoon tea at The Ritz.
Grace said: “While there, the topic of dating apps came up.
“I explained to colleagues that’s was how I met my boyfriend, Daryl.
“I noticed Karl’s face drop. He seemed disappointed.”
Chads sent insulting messages to Grace[/caption] He also broke into her home during the nightmare ordeal[/caption] One of the gifts Chads sent Grace[/caption]Grace later handed her colleague her phone number, only for Chads to reveal he had feelings for her.
She said she told him she was flattered but in a relationship, which led to a “barrage of insults” from Chads.
The spurned stalker branded her a “below-stairs type” and accused Grace of leading him on.
Chads then ramped up his abuse campaign and even posted a private chat between the pair on a shared work platform.
Grace flagged it to her manager but Chads continued to bombard her with calls and texts – leading the writer to call police.
She said: “They told me they could charge him with malicious communications if he failed to cease contact. And that was that.”
During a trip to Prague to attend her cousin’s wedding, Chads made a defamatory post on LinkedIn trying to sabotage her job.
Terrified, Grace’s boyfriend moved in and the couple reported all of Chads’ messages to the police but no action was taken.
Obsessed Chads eventually resigned from the workplace but continued to harass Grace – even sending her a parcel at her home containing a Alexander McQueen purse and a creepy note.
This read: “I thought we had the potential to develop into a friendship and relationship one day.”

They also installed a doorbell camera, which captured the stalker prowling around outside before breaking in.
Grace said: “I arrived home to smashed up pipes, broken windows. My clothes were ripped up and strewn across the garden.”
Chads was arrested at the scene with two glasses and a bottle of wine in his backpack and the condoms in his pocket.
As well as a jail sentence, he was also handed an indefinite restraining order banning contact with Grace.
She said: “At his sentencing, I faced him down, bravely read my impact statement and took back control.
“Now I want to encourage other survivors of stalking to collate evidence, keep records. Listen to your gut.
“In the end, I was forced to take charge and fight for justice. And I won.”

LUTON TOWN have axed manager Rob Edwards amid the threat of back-to-back relegations.
Edwards, 42, led the Hatters to the Premier League during his first season in charge.
Rob Edwards has been sacked by Championship strugglers Luton Town[/caption]They dropped back to the Championship this term despite a brave battle.
But Luton have been unable to build on their recent success and are now at risk of ending up back in League One.
Confirming the manager’s departure, a statement read: “Luton Town Football Club can confirm that Rob Edwards has left his role as manager by mutual agreement.”
It continued: “We could have not wished for a better man to understand what it takes to be manager of Luton Town, one who acted as an ambassador for the club and community in the glare of the world’s media spotlight.
“We enjoyed the highs of Goodison Park and that maiden Premier League win, the demolition of Brighton under the Kenilworth Road lights and the part the Town played in the 4-4 classic at Newcastle after also taking a point, and so very nearly all three, off Liverpool as the battle against relegation went right to the final day.
“The current campaign back in the Championship has clearly not progressed as anticipated, and after holding amicable talks following Monday’s defeat at QPR, the board and Rob have agreed to part with immediate effect.
“While the process to appoint a new manager is already underway, Paul Trollope and Richie Kyle, aided by Mick Harford, will take charge of the squad for Saturday’s FA Cup third round tie at Nottingham Forest.”
Edwards has won just seven of his 26 matches in the current campaign, leaving the Hatters 20th in the table and just two points above the drop zone.
FOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALS
Monday’s 2-1 defeat at QPR was their fourth loss on the bounce.
And Luton have now parted ways with Edwards just 26 months after bringing him to Kenilworth Road.
The Hatters will now look to make an appointment ahead of Saturday’s FA Cup trip to Premier League flyers Nottingham Forest.
Speaking after Luton’s defeat to QPR this week, Edwards admitted he was feeling the pressure in the dugout.
He said: “Every week on the road we seem to be getting hit and hit and hit.
“Things have gone against us recently.
“It just seems the footballing gods are against us.
“But results are not good enough.
“The players are giving everything but we are in a results business.”
Reflecting on Edwards’ time at the club, Luton CEO Gary Sweet said: “As with all decisions to part company with a manager, this has been a tough decision to arrive at, together with Rob, who has conducted himself with great professionalism and dignity throughout his two years at the Club, and again this week as we have genuinely come to a mutual conclusion.
“Rob has given us some of our greatest days to celebrate as Hatters. Those two barnstorming derby victories at Kenilworth Road, the play-off final at Wembley and our season in the Premier League will live with us forever and in doing so Rob has earned himself a legendary status.
“Results this season, especially away from home, have clearly not been acceptable and while we have supported Rob and his team in every possible way, we all felt that action was required to rectify this with 20 league matches still to play.
“It is typical of Rob’s humility that he also recognised this himself and leaves not just as a former manager, but as a trusted friend who has left his mark on every player and member of staff.
“Rob and his family will always be welcome visitors to Kenilworth Road. The door is always open. On behalf of the board, I would like to give him our heartfelt thanks for two years of tireless work and so many memories, wishing him every success for his future career.”
Incredible 3m-year-old VEG PEELERS used by world’s oldest ‘humans’ like half-ape ‘Lucy’ discovered…& they’re STILL sharp
UNBELIEVABLE three-million-year-old razor-sharp vegetable peelers used by the world’s oldest humans have been discovered.
The innovative tools were made from smashing stones together – and were also likely used to cut off the flesh of prey.
Hominid ‘Lucy’ (Australopithecus afarensis) in the Museum of Human Evolution[/caption] The peelers have significant context for early human technology[/caption]Archaeologists unearthed the tools in an area of Africa dubbed “the cradle of humankind”.
Kenya’s Homa peninsula is home to various artefacts representative of early humanity – including the famous remains of Lucy – a half-ape-half-human.
In November 1974, the skeleton of a small female was discovered and nicknamed Lucy.
Lucy is part of the genus Australopithecus – a group of small-bodied and small-brained early hominin, or human, species that walked upright in short distances.
Research later found that Lucy would have had a mixture of ape-like and human-body features.
Now experts have discovered the small knives known as flakes in the historical area.
Archaeologist Tom Plummer and his colleagues believe the incredible finds are the oldest recorded stone utility on record.
Part of an Oldowan tool kit, the tools are a glimpse into the people who lived in the region some 3 million years ago and how they lived.
And what’s more the peeling tools are said to be as sharp now as they would have been when they were first made.
Plummer told CBS: “I think the Oldowan technology is probably the most important technological innovation that ever happened in human history.
Who is 'Lucy'?
LUCY, the famous Australopithecus afarensis fossil, was found in Hadar, Ethiopia, in 1974.
Her 40 per cent-complete skeleton, dating back a whopping 3.2 million years, have provided breakthrough insights into human evolution.
Lucy’s significance comes from the incredible combination of ape-like and human-like features she exhibits.
Her small skull and long arms are reminiscent of apes – while her pelvis, spine, and knee structure clearly indicate bipedalism – the ability to walk upright, a defining human characteristic.
What’s more, Lucy shows that walking upright evolved before significant brain development.
Although Lucy was bipedal, current research suggests A. afarensis may have also spent time in trees as well as on ground.
Standing about 1.05 metres tall, Lucy was a young adult when she died, possibly from a fall.
The discovery revolutionised the understanding of human origins and even continues to shape evolutionary studies.
“It allowed [the pre-human ancestors] to access a whole array of foods that they would never have had access to before.”
The expert added that the dietary changes likely led to needed evolutionary changes to the body, including brain growth.
Plummer said that it may have created a higher class of early humans who began “doing more with technology”.
Rick Potts, the Smithsonian human origins program leader who led research in the area, also said the breakthrough discovery reveals important context into the species’ history.
He said: “We are the last biped standing, as I call it.
“All of those other ways of life became extinct.
“And so that gives us a lot to think about, and it draws attention to the fragility of life, even in our own journey through time.”

KATIE McCABE has led the tributes to teammate Niamh Fahey following her retirement from international football.
The Republic of Ireland legend hangs up the boots after winning 115 caps including at the 2023 Women‘s World Cup.
She released an emotional statement remembering her fondest moments in the green jersey.
And it prompted a deluge of tributes from teammates past and present, with Katie McCabe saying: “Irish legend”
All-time appearance maker Emma Byrne said: “One of the best
“An absolute rock on and off the pitch and someone I’m privileged to have played alongside.
“What an exceptional career you’ve had and always represented our country with integrity, professionalism & passion.
“The team, the supporters, the game will miss you. Welcome to the next scéil Niamhus!“
Fellow Ireland defender Caitlin Hayes commented: “Although only a short time, it has been a privilege to share the field with you!”
Midfielder Lily Agg posted: “Unbelievable Fah, what an incredible woman you are, I wish you all the best on wherever life takes you next.
“Big hugs and love always”
Stephanie Roche, who announced her retirement from football last October, said: “Legend Fahey! One of the best to wear the jersey. Top player, top person”
Jess Ziu said: “Unbelievable career” while Ruesha Littlejohn declared: “Love you long time grandfather
“One of the best! It’s been a bloody pleasure memories to last a life time”
Fahey’s final game was in December when she was part of the Ireland team that missed out on Euro 2025 qualification in the play-off with Wales.
She will continue her club career with Liverpool, having joined the Reds in 2018 having previously lined out for Bordeaux, Chelsea, Arsenal, Galway and Salthill Devon.
In her statement, Fahey dedicated her gratitude to her friends, family, and peers.
She said: “After 17 years in green, from my debut to cap 115 for the Ireland Women‘s National Team, I have been on a journey beyond expectation and it has been a huge source of immense motivation, privilege and pride.
“A sincere thank you to all the people who have been on the journey with me and helped me in so many aspects; Friends, neighbours, teachers, coaches, colleagues, managers, team-mates, fans and many more!
“Your support, investment, passion and belief has pushed and inspired me in every way possible.
“To my family, who have been a core support and sounding board throughout, I would not have achieved what I have without you.
“I can’t thank you enough for everything, especially my parents Marjorie and Richard.
“There have been countless highs and lows, but the feeling of elation and satisfaction en route to qualifying and representing our country on the world stage at the FIFA Women’s World Cup in 2023 will live long in the memory.
“I look forward to watching and supporting the team and the future generations to come in what is only the continuation of more memorable moments at the highest level for our Women’s National Team.
“Go raibh míle maith agat.”
Youth spotted ‘fleeing with machete’ after boy, 14, stabbed to death on bus – as killer STILL on loose two days later
TWO young men were spotted “fleeing with a machete” after a 14-year-old boy was fatally stabbed on a bus – as the killer remains at large two days later.
Vince Seesarun, 31, a manager at a nearby estate agent, saw CCTV footage of the youths, who he said “couldn’t even be 18” – with one carrying a “massive machete“.
Kelyan Bokassa with his mum before he was fatally stabbed in Woolwich Church Street[/caption] Forensic police officers secure a knife in a tube as police guard a cordon after a teenager was fatally stabbed[/caption] Mary Bokassa said her son was ‘very caring’[/caption]He said he saw them running away from the scene where Kelyan Bokassa was fatally stabbed in Woolwich Church Street.
He added: “The footage basically shows two boys frantically running, no coverings (on their faces), massive machete about the size of my forearm.”
He said they ran past one of the orange and grey high-rise flat blocks overlooking Woolwich Church Street, towards the Thames Path which runs alongside the river.
The two boys ran out of view of the CCTV camera towards the river and when they appeared in range of a second camera, they no longer had the weapon, he claimed.
He said footage then showed them walking east along the riverside path.
“Something happens. There’s the object gone after, then they were just calmly walking – that was the craziest part”, he said.
He added: “I’m sure” people could recognise them because of their lack of disguise.”
Keen footballer Kelyan died at the scene in Woolwich, south-east London, shortly before 2.30pm on Tuesday.
His mum described her teenage son as “caring” in a poignant tribute.
She said Kelyan lived on the streets in London for a year where he was groomed by gangs and “exposed to drugs” before his death.
Fighting back tears, Mary Bokassa, 50, told The Sun: “He was very caring. He cares about people and had a good sense of humour.
“He was very polite. He was interested in football and was a supporter of Arsenal.
“We had to move around and he was in care, he was there for four years with no progress. I begged for contact with my son.
“I had to get the support of a lawyer. He was missing for a year and was living on the street.
“He finally turned up at my doorstep, he was sick, underweight and tattooed.
The mum said her young son was then “taken advantage of” by local gangs.
She added: “He was exposed to drugs. He probably experienced something because I could sense it.
“He was not himself. If I questioned him he wouldn’t tell me anything about his friends.
“My son and others were taken advantage by gangs. They were groomed.”
Mary continued: “He lived in the streets for a year after he ran away from the children’s home.
“But when he came home wrote graffiti on the balcony to say he loved me.”
Kelyan is said to have been on his way to Woolwich Town Hall to see his social worker on what was his first day back at school when he was stabbed to death.
It comes as dozens of tributes have been made for the teen online, with the hashtag Long Live Kelyan (LLK) seen across TikTok and Instagram.
Kelyan attended St Columba’s Catholic Boys’ School in Bexleyheath, south-east London, which was opened by former Conservative Tory prime minister Ted Heath in 1973.
No arrests have yet been made in connection with his death, with an urgent police manhunt ongoing.
Pals of the boy have said he was “taken too soon” and described him as a keen footballer.
One pal said: “Kelyan was a good friend. He was liked by lots of people and was devoted to doing his music thing.
“He didn’t deserve to die.”
Another said: “I knew him he was a nice guy, very energetic, a decent guy, he will be missed.”
The horror unfolded on a Route 472 bus in Woolwich Church Road, near the junction with the A205 South Circular Road, at around 2.30pm.
Officers attended, along with London Ambulance Service and London’s Air Ambulance.
Paramedics treated a 14-year-old boy at the scene who had received stab wound injuries, but he sadly died soon after.
A Met spokesperson said: “Following Kelyan’s tragic death yesterday, specialist officers are now leading the investigation which is progressing at pace.
“The incident happened shortly before 14:30hrs on a route 472 bus on Woolwich Church Street, SE18 at the Woolwich Ferry bus stop.
“If anyone saw this horrific attack or was in the area then I urge them to come forward and speak to officers.
“We’re particularly interested in any mobile phone footage that captured this incident or any dash cam or doorbell footage from around the surrounding area at the time of this incident.
“I know this is an incredibly worrying time for those in Woolwich, and there will continue to be an enhanced police presence in the area.
“Our thoughts remains with Kelyan’s family, who are being supported by specialist officers at this difficult time.”
There has been no arrests and enquiries continue.
If anyone witnessed the incident or has any information which may help, they are urged to call police on 101 with reference 3795/07JAN25.
They can also call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
