In Aluko’s impact statement, she says she is deeply upset to be associated with serial killers.
She describes Barton’s comments as “abhorrent and the most offensive criticism she has experienced in her life”.
“I remain deeply upset with the malicious comparison to serial killers and feel humiliated given that millions of people will have seen this comparison,” she adds.
It was unwarranted and unjustified, she says, adding that as a result she was too scared to leave her house resulting in cancelled engagements and loss of income.
Aluko says she has also taken steps to increase her security.
She adds she also believes there was a racist element to the posts.
