Hi - I've not been on Websleuths since the conclusion of the Helen Bailey trial. It was quite addictive following the regular updates from the court.
I've now left the UK and that's my excuse why I was totally in the dark about all that's happened of late. I just happened to google 'Ian Stewart' to see if he was enjoying his hotel and was gobsmacked to learn about him actually being charged with his first wife's murder. I think we all suspected he had a hand in it but it's amazing to imagine the evidence that the police must have discovered to allow this to proceed. But what a long time to wait! Maybe it's because of covid that it's delayed until next year.
Anyhow, I'm chuffed that I managed to sign back on here again. I've looked through all the pages of posts so far and will be back periodically until the trial to see what there is to learn.
If it wasn't for the tragic fact that such lovely people have lost their lives at the hands of this monster, this would be quite an incredible murder story. It reminds me of Malcolm Webster's crimes except for the fact that Stewart is totally devoid of the charm and charisma that Webster must have had to operate.
