LONDON, Aug. 11 (UPI) -- A London court has found a man guilty of sending a pig's head disguised as a birthday present to his ex-girlfriend's sister-in-law.

The Kingston Crown Court jury found Martin Anderson, 44, guilty of masterminding a hate campaign against Kim Teague that left the woman fearing violence, The Sun reported Monday.

Judge Stephen Bellamy set sentencing for Sept. 5.

"Obviously all options as to sentencing will be kept open," he told Anderson after the guilty verdict was announced.

Teague had told the court she received a gift-wrapped package that contained the severed head of a pig with the letters "RIP" written on its forehead. She said she also received anonymous phone calls from someone who made pig noises over the line.
