Police believe Gracie Spinks, 23, from Old Whittington was killed by 35-year-old Michael Sellers, from Sheffield, on June 18 in a murder-suicide.
Jackie Barnett-Wheatcroft has launched an online parliamentary petition calling for the Government to provide more funding for stalking advocates for victims of stalking.

More than 40,000 people had already signed the petition as of 1pm on Thursday, August 12, meaning that the Government has to respond.
At least 100,000 signatures are needed for the petition to be considered for debate in Parliament, however.
