Ian Stewart found guilty of Helen Bailey murder
 
Quote:

The fiance of a children's author who drugged and suffocated her before throwing her body in a hidden cesspit has been found guilty of murder.

Ian Stewart, 56, had denied murdering Helen Bailey at their home in Royston, Hertfordshire, in order to get his hands on her near-£4m fortune.

He was convicted at St Albans Crown Court following a seven-week trial.

Police say they will look again at the death of Stewart's wife Diane in 2010 following the verdict.

Mrs Stewart died after having an epileptic seizure in the garden of the family home in Bassingbourn, Cambridgeshire. An inquest was held but police will now re-examine the case.

Described by police as "a narcissist" who was "cold" and "calculating", Stewart had "grossly deceived" 51-year-old Ms Bailey when they met online following the death of her husband in 2011.

Prosecutors said he had played "the long game" in order to inherit Ms Bailey's fortune, made from the publication of more than 20 books including the popular Electra Brown teenage fiction series.

Such a sad case. I'm glad that justice has finally been served.

Yes awful man, he tried to sell her property through power of attorney while she was still "missing" , he also killed her dog and put him in the cess pit with her. They are now looking at the possibility he might have killed his first wife as she died suddenly as well

They are not sure if she was actually dead when she went into the cesspit either, poor woman.
Evil man with a black heart.

So sad as her first husband died while they were on holiday in the Carribean and she wrote a book about how she dealt with the grief

Was it a cess pit or a septic tank ? I only ask as I am sure they said the latter on todays news , but I could have misheard.They are opening a case for his first wife now who died.

smudgie 22-02-2017 03:45 PM

They have used both terms Kaz.
They showed a computer image of it on the news, under the garage.
Poor woman and her little dog.

This man is a prime example why we should bring back hanging.
She had already put everything in his name.

RIP Helen and her lovely dog. :( Such a sad story, what a horrible evil greedy man. People like him make me want the death penalty brought back.

Lostie! 22-02-2017 08:29 PM

On top of being evil to the core, he's an exceptionally arrogant moron to assume he'd get away with it and get the money he wanted so badly despite making himself look guilty at every opportunity.

Prick.
