Paris Hilton receives death threats

The heiress Paris Hilton is in a life and death situation after she reportedly received death threats last year from Darnell Riley, who stands accused of burglary, robbery, carjacking, kidnapping and attempted-extortion.

The case remained unsolved until Paris Hilton gave the police enough information that led to the arrest of Riley. The producer Joe Francis also claimed he found Riley trespassing in his Bel Air, California home in January last year and beside the fact he was forced to perform demeaning sex acts on himself, which were videotaped, the intruder also demanded $1,000 and Francis' Rolex watch, before saying, "I need $100,000 cash, or you're going to die."

Yesterday Francis testified that his ex-girlfriend Paris Hilton had spoken to him about Riley at a party in late 2004, "Paris Hilton pulled me aside at a party and said, 'I'm being extorted by Darnell Riley for $20,000 a month and he's threatened to kill me if I don't pay.'"
