Olden years not so golden
Victim predicted tragedy
PENSIONERS are feeling more stressed after retiring, a survey revealed.
A third who quit work in the past decade struggle to make ends meet and more than one in 10 says their health has gone downhill.
One in 10 hands grownup children cash and a fifth feel used over childcare, insurer Prudential found.
With over a third missing work, Vince Smith-hughes, of the Pru, says: “Giving up work can be a shock to the system.” STALKERS are set to be put on a register of offenders who are a danger to the public.
Campaigners met Government ministers after a series of highprofile cases where women were murdered by their controlling former partners.
It would put stalkers on the same footing as rapists and paedophiles.
They would be closely monitored and have to tell police if they start a relationship or change address.
Hollywood star Keira Knightley, 32, was stalked by obsessive Mark Revill, 50, who sent threatening tweets. Last month he was given a life ban from contacting her.
Laura Richards, founder of stalking advocacy service Paladin, who met Home Office Minister Sarah Newton, believes the register will help save lives. She said: ALICE Ruggles foretold her own death and reported her ex-boyfriend for breaching a harassment order days before he killed her.
Soldier Harry Dhillon, 26, right, came to her bedroom window at midnight then two days later climbed in and cut her throat “from ear to ear”. A court heard Alice, 24, of Gateshead, Tyneside, told her sister Emma: “They will f***ing respond once he has f***ing stabbed me.” In April Dhillon got a 22-year minimum life term. The judge called his act “utter barbarism”.
