OFFENCE Chloe Haines

A WOMAN who tried to open a passenger jet’s door in mid-air may face jail.

Chloe Haines, 26, screamed “You’re all going to f***ing die,” forcing the Turkey-bound flight back to Stansted airport in June.

She yesterday admitted endangerin­g the safety of an aircraft and assault at Chelmsford crown court.

The judge told Haines, of High Wycombe, Bucks: “It was a serious offence and all sentencing options remain open.”

A LOTTERY millionair­e has put his good luck down to his guardian angel daughter who died aged 16.

Stephen Schiltz was holding Theresa in his arms when she died of a heart attack caused by rare condition cardiomyop­athy. He said: “I’ve always felt she’s looking out for me and now I’ve won a million on the lottery, so who knows?”

Stephen, 54, was working as a lorry driver when Theresa died 11 years ago and recently he bought a second-hand LandRover which had a number plate showing her date of birth - THZ 5192.

His wife Lesley, 55, said: “He was a bit doubtful when I used to say she’s looking over him but he believes it now.”

The couple, who have six children from previous marriages, were living “hand-to-mouth” in London before moving to Pontardawe, South Wales, seven months ago to be near Lesley’s brother. They were comfortabl­y off - but things got even better when Stephen made a Christmas wish in the cab of his lorry two weeks ago.

He said: “I had the radio on and they said someone in South Wales had won £1million. remember thinking: ‘I wish it was me’.” Three days later he was in a pub with his mates when he found a forgotten Euromillio­ns ticket he left in his wallet.

He scanned it on his mobile and “couldn’t believe it” when it showed he had won £1million on UK Millionair­e Maker. He said: “I scanned it again and got a mate to scan it.

“I called Lesley but she thought it was a wind-up.”

Stephen has quit his job and plans to set up a business making wrought iron gates while Lesley will stay in her job

STEPHEN SCHILTZ ON HIS LATE DAUGHTER THERESA

Pair have overcome tough times training carers. Yet they nearly missed out on the windfall when Stephen forgot where he had bought the ticket.

Camelot chiefs feared it was a scam until he remembered buying it at their local Tesco. One thing Stephen won’t forget is his daughter Theresa. She was five when she was diagnosed with Friedreich’s ataxia, a rare genetic disease that can lead to cardiomyop­athy, and she spent long periods in hospital.

Stephen has her name and image tattooed on his arms. He added: “I’ve had some tragedy and think about her all the time. Right now I feel a very lucky man and maybe she has brought us that luck.”

Right now I feel a very lucky man.. maybe she has brought us that luck
