A HAMPSHIRE college student who feared she was being stalked has been found dead.
Emily Longley, 17, told friends on her social networking page: “Someone just called me.
“They said ‘You don’t know me but I know everything about you’.
“I’m really scared.”
Police are treating the Brockenhurst College student’s death as “unexplained” and major crime team detectives are investigating.
Emily, a New Zealand national, was discovered dead at a bungalow in Queenswood Avenue, Strouden, Bournemouth, at 9.55am on Saturday.
Last night a 19-year-old man from Bournemouth was helping police with their inquiries.
Emily’s father, Mark Longley, was reported in a New Zealand newspaper as saying his daughter had died in her sleep, but he did not know how.
In her Facebook revelations on Wednesday, Emily went on to say of the anonymous caller: “I asked how they got my number and they said ‘I’ll tell you when I see you’ and kept asking me out.
“I hung up and they won’t stop calling. How weird! Some people need to get a life!”
The 17-year-old’s hometown was Auckland and she attended high school and grammar school there.
In addition to her studies she worked at Top Shop in Old Christchurch Road, Bournemouth, and a London modelling agency.
Tributes on a specially set up Facebook page described her “a beautiful girl” and an “amazing person”.
Her younger sister, Hanny, simply wrote: “RIP beautiful big sis.”
Friend Lauren Blatch added: “You were like the littlest ray of sunshine on the rainiest of days.”
• Two males, agred 19 and 17, have been arrested and released on police bail in connection with the death.
