Carl Cooper, 66, denies murdering former girlfriends Fiona Holm and Naomi Hunte.
A woman told police she was being stalked by a man who was later accused of murdering her and another woman, a jury has heard.
The prosecution described Mr Cooper as an "obvious suspect" in the killing of Ms Hunte, who was found stabbed to death on her blood-soaked sofa on Valentine's Day in 2022. Ms Holm, whose body has never been found, is believed to have died on 20 June 2023.In a callout by police on 24 November 2020, Ms Hunte told officers: "I think he is obsessed with me. He told me he really likes me. I told him, I just want to be friends. He was angered at that.
She was asked if she was afraid of what the person she was complaining about might do to her or someone else, if the abuse was happening more often and if there had been any threats that had made her scared.The court has heard that inquiries showed that the last person to visit her was Mr Cooper. Her blood was later found on three different areas of his jacket, the court heard.
She added that "the obvious suspect is a dangerous starting point" and the prosecution was relying on circumstantial evidence.
