GUILTY UK - Helen Bailey, 51, Royston, 11 April 2016 #10

[Alyce]

Two finance related pieces of info in this article. He was treasurer of the bowls club and was famously tight with money!

Stewart was a keen bowls player and was a treasurer at the Bassingbourn Bowls Club in Royston for a number of years.
Despite his commitment to the club, Stewart was famously tight with his money and once refused to contribute just £10 to help buy a new water tank.

says a lot , to me, about character right there

 

[cottonweaver]

He was an intelligent, charming, thoughtful individual.

He is able to trick his way into somebody's life at a very early stage of meeting.

He's very persuasive I think with his conversation, with his charm, but I think ultimately you would discover that he is a liar and with what I consider to be overwhelming evidence he is unable to tell the truth, unable to release the Bailey family and his own family from that torment.

Bishop - have you been advising DCI Kent ^ ?


ETA another bit from CPS:

"This is a man who behind a cloak of normality harbours very sinister designs," prosecutor Charles White said.
"He was playing a long game here. He plotted this and got all the pieces in place before executing his deed.

"That tells you all you need to know - he is a very sinister individual."

Thank you to everyone who reassured me after my earlier panic (Scandinavian girl, mbmc and neteditor).

I'm having an almond slice for Helen x

 

[TheRisenBishop]

Sorry, I've just been thinking about why I'm defending this and I think I can't bear to think of one more person profiting or showboating about anything to do with this. I'm really, really trying to believe in the good in people. Because I can't stand to think someone else that Helen trusted and liked is letting her down.

My arguments about your posts aren't directed at you, they're expressions of hope that Helen hasn't been let down again xx

Well bless you for having such a noble and pure heart! Blessed are the peacemakers...

It's not easy being a grizzly old cynic. Trust me you're on the right side of the fence.

I'm just gobsmacked at how a friend and/or paid mentor could act in the manner this woman did and continues to do so now as soon as the curtain falls and all the press are sniffing around. Honestly, where's the dignity in that? I'm appalled. She needs a bit of life coaching herself!

ETA another bit from Kent:

Lol... No, but when you deal with these types routinely you can "smell" them a mile off. I'm sure DCI Kent recognized the feculent stench just as easily!

 

[Cherwell]

How on earth can Channel 5 have a documentary ready to show tonight? I suspect this will be at the expense of accuracy and quality.

I was going to say some old-fashioned cologne would do it but as you and IB are into your botanicals, rub it all over!

I thought it was tomorrow ?

Not untypical of their output, to be fair.

Thought it was tomorrow? Most of it will have already been done.

It's been a long week, but it's only Wednesday today

It's still a short turnaround, but it's on tomorrow x

Oh goodness, Malcolm Webster all over again

So many parallels with Webster!

Didnt want to put this up before the verdict.

Here's a link re Boris - still makes me very angry just to read it.
Boris has had a big upheavel in his life.

His lady owner is becoming increasingly stressed with the situation – which he will be picking up on. Poor little dog.

One big problem is that guests, especially with a bit of social alcohol in them, ignore instructions! They will wind up the dog – maybe unintentionally – doing the very opposite of what they have been asked.

Wow - Alyce, thank you for sharing this. No wonder it makes you angry.
Poor Boris and Helen trying to cope with a whole new way of living beyond their more gentle home in Highgate. And where was the wretched Patriarch in his support of Helen and 'love of dogs'.
This is heartbreaking to know what they were both going through - even before we know the rest.

 

[Cinnalauda]

Ahh I was in meetings all day and couldn't check the news! Jury was much quicker than I thought they'd be. My elation was short lived however as I soon started thinking about Helen's mum and brother and how they must feel. And the sons, having your mum die and father locked up for murder, not to mention the fact that Diane's death will be opened up again. I'm full of sorrow and yet feel satisfied with today's verdict. My emotions are a little all over the place. Rest in peace Helen and Boris *advertiser censored*

 

[Squamous]

I'm scared of the C5 documentary. The title doesn't sound anything like Helen, I so hope it's not a tacky, salacious affair.

 

[TheRisenBishop]

I was going to say some old-fashioned cologne would do it but as you and IB are into your botanicals, rub it all over!

Don't!!! Now you've reminded me it's nearly gin o'clock. I betcha my gin is more expensive than tightwad's cologne!

This line about the past of Ian Stewart, who murdered author Helen Bailey, now starts to look extremely suspicious https://t.co/SEwJMggqrS

 

[Joely 123]

Ah I see. So presumably, on that basis, he can also refuse to turn up tomorrow

Loving Judge Bright! He can just send him a video link to tell him what he thinks of him. No need for anyone to see the shameful one again.
