Just seen this - how annoying



The trial of Ian Stewart, who is charged with the murder of his wife Diane, has been put back a number of weeks.


Stewart is to stand trial for the murder of 47-year-old Diane, who died at their home in Bassingbourn in 2010. The couple previously lived in Shepreth.

The trial had been given a start date of November 8, 2021 at Luton Crown Court, but will now take place on January 17, 2022, at Huntingdon Crown Court.

Prosecutor Neil King has said the time estimate for the trial involving the death of Diane Stewart was four weeks.

Is anyone able to verify the above.

So just to confirm that Ian Stewart was charged for killing his fiancée and jailed for life and ordered to serve a minimum of 34 years for her murder in February 2017.
He is now on trial for killing a second person his wife Diane Stewart in 2010 who was found in an inquest to have died of epilepsy but this has been re-reviewed.

Yes that's all correct.

If you search on websleuth, there's a thread for the murder of Helen Bailey that he's already convicted of.

Nothing showing at Huntingdon yet but probably only jury selection today - unless he's already sent in his first of many sick notes

Think he'll do everything he can to sabotage and drag out this trial.
