Heather meets with police to discuss death threat fears
Updated 07:43am on 15 Feb 2007Heather Mills has officially registered death threats made against her with the police.
The model was driven to her local police station by her personal trainer Ben Amigoni yesterday to discuss the threats made against her and her daughter Beatrice, three.
They spent more than an hour talking to police in Hove, East Sussex, in a pre-arranged meeting.
Legal sources suggested Miss Mills, 38, is using the threats and concerns over her protection to try to win ground as her divorce battle with Sir Paul McCartney - increasingly one of attrition - continues.
The threats were reportedly made from Merseyside, home of the Beatles. Police have made no arrests, but Miss Mills's sister Fiona complained police were not doing enough and said Miss Mills was terrified.
The Mail recently revealed, that on her official website, Miss Mills apparently allowed Fiona to accuse Sir Paul of putting the lives of both Heather and their daughter at risk by refusing to pay for bodyguards to counter death threats she had received.
But the words were later redrafted for fear they might damage Miss Mills's divorce settlement.
A source close to Sir Paul, 64, said last night: "Paul would obviously do anything to protect Beatrice. His opinion is that if Heather feels Beatrice is ever in danger, then he is more than happy for her to come and stay with him, where she will be afforded all the protection he can afford.
"Sir Paul is not happy to pay out for protection for Heather just for her to have a vast retinue of staff to do everything for her from posting letters to joining her at the gym."

This woman continuously tries to get herself in the headlines to get public sympathy as she feels it will help in her upcoming divorce. What would in fact help her more would be to be quiet, stay at home and take care of her child, acting a dignified manner whilst shielding her child from the media. It's called damage limitation, instead she chooses to wash her own and her husbands dirty laundry in public, does anyone have any sympathy for her?
