BBC tennis pundit ‘bombarded with messages from stalker who targeted sister with bizarre paintings & gifts'
The stalker is due to be sentenced next week STALKING HELL BBC tennis pundit 'bombarded with messages from stalker who targeted sister with bizarre paintings & gifts' A BBC tennis pundit was bombarded with messages from a stalker after he'd also targeted her sister with bizarre paintings and gifts. Ex-player turned TV star Naomi Broady - sister of Brit tennis ace Liam Broady - was flooded with social media messages between January and December 2023 by creep David Richardson. 5 Naomi Broady, 35, was bombarded with social media messages for nearly a year Credit: Instagram/naomibroady 5 She has been working for the BBC since 2021, and was involved in the Wimbledon coverage this summer Credit: Instagram/naomibroady 5 Broady after booking her place in round 2 at Wimbledon in 2014 Credit: Getty Images - Getty Richardson, 39, pleaded guilty to harassment of mum-of-two Naomi, 35, and the stalking of her sibling Emma Broady, 37, over a three-year period at Manchester Magistrates' Court last month. He is said to have sent "multiple unwanted messages via Facebook and sending unwanted gifts, cards and paintings". Court papers add the ordeal caused Naomi "serious harm and distress", reports The Mirror. The newspaper approached Richardson at his home in Stockport, Greater Manchester, and he told them he had gone to school with Emma and wanted to make a "positive impact" before asking her out. However, when she rejected him, he turned his attentions to Naomi. "I wanted to try to win her over - I wanted to ask her out," he said. Richardson explained he was "a bit out of practice with the girls... I've not been in a relationship". He had bought Selfridges vouchers and flowers for Emma on her birthday, Valentine's Day and Christmas in a bid to win her over. The stalker is banned from contacting either sister or visiting their homes ahead of sentencing on August 18. A source told The Mirror: "It was terrifying. They were pleased the police took it seriously. Action has now been taken." Emma Raducanu 'asks for crying child to be EJECTED from stadium' in tense exchange with umpire and crowd agree The court papers state Richardson had pursued Naomi - who was involved in the Beeb's Wimbledon coverage this summer, and appears on Radio 5 Live, "which amounted to harassment". It adds he "sent various unwanted messages on Facebook" between January 18 and December 4 2023. Naomi had begun playing tennis at the age of seven and competed in the junior circuit of the International Tennis Federation (ITF) between 2004 and 2008, including reaching the quarter finals of a Wimbledon girls tournament. She made her debut at the senior Wimbledon championships in 2008 but was beaten by Rika Fujiwara in the qualifying rounds. The following year, Naomi won her first senior title in Grenoble, France, defeating top seed Youlia Fedossova. In 2014 he was given a wildcard entry into Wimbledon and beat Timea Babos before being knocked out in the second round. She also made it through to the second round of the US Open in 2016. The same year, Naomi reached the third round of the Wimbledon doubles, and later made it to the quarter finals in the mixed doubles in 2014 and 2021. She began working as a BBC commentator for Radio 5 Live at the US Open in 2021. Naomi is not the first tennis star targeted by a stalker, with British number one Emma Raducanu, 22, left in tears last year at the Dubai Tennis Championships after seeing a man follow her to four successive tournaments. The same man, who was removed, had given the player a letter and asked for her photo in a coffee shop the previous day. He was given a restraining order by local cops. Raducanu had previously been the victim of stalker Amrit Magar who was slapped with a five-year restraining order in 2022 after he walked 23 miles to her home. 5 Broady was said to have been left distressed by the ordeal Credit: Instagram/naomibroady

Boy, 16, tragically ends life after watching TikTok videos with sister
A "sensitive and caring" 16 year old boy was found to have been "laughing and joking" with his sister over TikTok clips just hours before he tragically took his own life. Elliott Jones had shown no signs of planning such an act, Winchester Coroners' Court was told during the inquest. After his mum popped out to the shops, Elliott left their home on Waverley Road, Fordingbridge, caught a bus to Pokesdown railway station, and then a train to Ashurst. A train driver spotted him standing with his back towards the train on the tracks, and despite doing "everything he possibly could", Elliott was hit and died instantly. Mum Carolyn Jones recounted to the court that on the day he passed away, March 10, he appeared to be in high spirits and had mentioned that the melatonin tablets he'd recently started for insomnia seemed to be helping. He and his sister had been having a laugh watching TikTok videos. She explained: "I went to the supermarket and when I came back I assumed he was still there but he had left." She spoke of her son as a "beautiful soul" and shared that shortly after, a news story about a fatality at Ashurst station in the New Forest appeared in her Facebook feed, reports the Mirror. She recounted that despite Elliott's seemingly cheerful demeanour earlier on, "I immediately thought it was Elliott; I don't know why but I just knew it was him". After discovering he had purchased a train ticket from his bank account, she said: "I was desperately checking the account to see if there was any sign of life after that. It was my worst nightmare." Mrs Jones then described how she searched her son's bedroom and discovered a notebook under his pillow with writings about taking his own life and his wish not to have a funeral. He had also left a note reminder to return a library book. She then called the police, telling them: "I think this [the person killed at Ashurst] is my son." At the time of his passing, Elliott was receiving support from CAMHS – Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services – had been diagnosed as autistic and was awaiting an ADHD assessment. Despite also having dyspraxia, which affects coordination, his mother noted he was coping well and had achieved "really well in his GCSEs" even though he "hardly" went to school. Describing him as "caring, sensitive and funny", she mentioned Elliott, known for his distinctive mane of curls, had come out as non-binary shortly before his death. She remembered him as a "champion for social justice", always ready to help and defend the underdog. Mrs Jones has shared that since Elliott's passing, she's been overwhelmed by messages from people saying he had a profound effect on their lives. Despite Elliott admitting to occasional suicidal thoughts, he assured her they were "fleeting" and he didn't intend to act on them. After the inquest into Elliott's death concluded it was suicide, coroner Jason Pegg reflected: "At 16 he had his whole life ahead of him. He was a very well loved and supported son." After the inquest, his family, who are receiving support from the bereavement charity Cruse, described Elliott as "highly sensitive, empathetic and endearingly eccentric", noting: "He would leave a positive impression on everyone he met – once met, never forgotten. "He was well liked by his teachers and peers. He had an intuitive intellectual curiosity beyond his years and deeply cared for social justice. He had done well in his GCSEs and was studying A-levels. It is clear he would have been passionate about any path he might have followed." Elliott relished spicy food, travelling, trips to London, tinkering with musical instruments, and diving into deep philosophical debates. He adored jewellery and showy attire, stood out with his tall frame and sported the most incredible long curly locks. "Elliott had a fantastic relationship with myself, his brother and sister, and the wider family. He had a good set of friends. He is deeply missed, but we all try to honour him by taking the things he taught us with us as we try to move forward with our lives."
