Stephanie Hill, 29, said she lost a year of her life due to the ordeal

A former Miss England who said her stalker moved from India to the UK to be closer to her has voiced her support for new government proposals.

Stephanie Hill, from Derbyshire, said she lost a year of her life when she was sent hundreds of messages by Dhawal Chaudhary over 11 months from May 2020.

Chaudhary, now 29, was arrested and later sentenced to a hospital order at Derby Crown Court in May 2022 after admitting stalking and harassment.

This week, the proposed "right to know" statutory guidance was announced, which the government said would inform stalking victims of their abuser's identity at the earliest chance.
