“They wanted him to be videoed. He didn’t want to do it. He said the whole house had been searched and he was tired. He felt terrible and had had an operation. There was no way he was going to do it.”

[FONT=&amp]Myasthenia gravis

Simon Russell Flint, defending: “After April 11 you were told they were planning to get married? It was a secret - other people needed to be told?”
Mr Priest: “It was a secret.”
Mr Russell Flint: “Myasthenia gravis and other issues. You knew Mr Stewart had collapsed before and was unable to work. The house itself had not had much done to it?”
Mr Priest: “It was a lovely house but it needed some work done to it. Helen liked decorating.”

[FONT=&amp]'Never saw them argue'

Mr Priest says Stewart has a private pension from his employer.
He said he had never seen Stewart argue with Helen.
“It was a big intensive search and Ian was worried about things being broken. He had just had enough of it. She had originally inherited the business. I just thought there were contractual problems she needed to sort out.”
Next witness: Detective Constable Lee Stewart.

[FONT=&quot][h=3]House alarm[/h]The court hears about the workings of the house’s alarm system.
The tags are given to the owner of the alarm. The only way to tell who is using which fob is to look for a pattern of activity to see whose use is consistent. Alarm was in constant use.

[FONT=&quot][h=3]Alarm[/h]DC Stewart: “From memory, April 11 [the alarm] had no real usage during the day. Only some in the morning and again in early evening. It didn’t correspond with people leaving the house. Other days it’s going on and off.”
Mr Trimmer, prosecuting: “Next activation in the evening. No other record. It’s unclear what time if any Helen Bailey left the house?”
DC Stewart: “No record at all. They could have gone out without setting the alarm.”

#helenbailey Court hears little use of alarm system on day Helen went missing. If anyone left house before 5pm alarm not set

[FONT=&quot][h=3]'Was it Stewart's?'[/h]Mr Russell Flint, defending: “Jamie Stewart says he was first up and deactivated the alarm. You can associate tag 7 with Mr Stewart?”
DC Stewart: “Based on the information I had to compare, that was the best association yes.”

[FONT=&quot][h=3]'Could there have been an alternative activation?'[/h]Mr Russell Flint, defending: “We know Mr Stewart had been to Cambridge to watch a bowls match and had got a Chinese meal. On the 11th, having been activated in the morning, it’s not activated again until the evening. It’s not used at all. When it’s left empty, the alarm is activated?”
DC Stewart: “Yes”.
Judge: “You mention it could be activated with a pin code. Could there have been an alternative activation?”
