Woman sentenced over threats to kill Angela Rayner
Elizabeth Harker received an 18-month community order and five-year restraining orders after sending abusive voicemails and a threatening note, with alcohol misuse cited as a factor.
- On Tuesday, 63-year-old Elizabeth Harker received an 18-month community order at Westminster Magistrates for sending threatening voicemails to Angela Rayner and harassing Dorris Fortune.
- Harker, of Luton, pleaded guilty to sending grossly offensive communications while intoxicated, including four abusive voicemails to Rayner and a handwritten note filled with slurs to Fortune.
- Rayner described threats to kill her and her son as causing "great stress and anxiety," while Fortune stated she felt "very distressed" after receiving a note containing derogatory slurs.
- District Judge Briony Clarke imposed a 20-day rehabilitation activity requirement, 200 hours of unpaid work, and a 12-month alcohol treatment programme, alongside five-year restraining orders banning Harker from contacting both victims.
- Remarking it was "quite remarkable" for a 63-year-old with no prior convictions to act this way, Judge Briony Clarke noted Harker's remorse and her recent participation in Alcoholics Anonymous.
