A new BBC podcast recounts the ordeal endured by Hannah Mossman Moore, whose phone was bombarded by fake accounts and her personal data weaponised against her

“Hi Hannah Mossman Moore

Stalking you has its benefits. Now watching your friend strip another blonde with perky tits. She’s not more than 22. I have seen your tits so many times in the recording. You are late 20s now? Declining youth and saggy boobs… There is so much to learn when one just follows you around. Have you left Sri Lanka or just hiding from me? Tell me please. I will come and get you.

In the UK, more than 170 women have been murdered by their sons in the past 15 years. An anonymous mother reveals what it is like to be frightened of your child while desperately wanting to support him

For the women pictured are some of the more than 170 who have been killed by their sons in the UK in the past 15 years. Their appalling tragedy – being killed by the person to whom they gave life – has a chilling resonance. Like many of those whose deaths have been highlighted in the 2,000 Women report by the Femicide Census, I am a professional with adored adult children and a close circle of friends. I am also frightened of my son.

Zhenhao Zou thought, acted and offended as if he was untouchable. When detectives searched the south London flat he rented for thousands of pounds a month, they found the trappings of a comfortable, if not lavish, lifestyle.

DCI Richard Mackenzie said of the search in January 2024: “There were designer bags, jewellery, a Rolex, designer clothes, some in the wardrobe with the tags still on.”
