What he didn't say on his arrest was anything about Nick, Joe, zoplicone, about a reward'
“This is the mind of the man who has now been arrested for murder, he’s entitled not to answer questions, and can sit there and say nothing.
“But the words of the caution effectively say beware if you don’t answer the questions now, some time down the line if in court you tell a story, the jury might well think you made it up.
“And I suggest that’s exactly what you should think.
“What he didn’t say on his arrest was anything about Nick, Joe, zopiclone, about a reward.
“None of that he now tells you is true.
“The Crown say he is hiding behind his legal advice.”
He ought to have said: ' I'm going to get those people. I don't care what they'll do to me'."
“He would have still run with lie number one, but he is released on bail until July 12.
“He can’t live in the house anymore because searches go on until July 15.
“He has to stay in a hotel, along with his two sons.
“On July 15, police find Helen’s body, the dog’s body and the other things in the cesspit, and Stewart is arrested again.
“His sons are nearby, he knows where they are.
“There’s no doubt now that Helen Bailey is not only dead, but somebody has put her in the cesspit full of excrement, together with the dog, the toy, pillow slip and some bin bags.
“The woman he spent all that time with is now without doubt dead, and has been dealt with in the most awful fashion. That ought to be enough, for him to say ‘I’m going to get those people, I don’t care what they’ll do to me’.
“He said he couldn’t tell police about Nick and Joe because of threats to his two sons. His sons were in a hotel that day.
“But he said nothing at all”.
She was sitting at her desk with no shoes on when she was smothered'
“You saw how carefully Helen’s body was taken out of the pit, by the side so it came out as far as possible, in the condition it went in. “So Nathaniel Cary, the pathologist, can tell you what he found.
“But he didn’t find much at all. There were no broken bones, no obvious bruises, nothing there which showed she had been beaten, had her legs or arms broken, or had her head stoved in. She had no shoes on.
“Nick and Joe had dealt with her so carefully when they killed her had they?
“Stewart told you that Nick and Joe showed him how they would deal with Helen by putting a hand round his neck.
“By this time he had seen the pathologist’s report, saying that he couldn’t exclude that Helen was smothered.
“Why was she wearing no shoes? Because she was sitting at her desk with no shoes on. And she was smothered and taken as she was, to that cesspit.”
This tales becomes utterly absurd'
“Lie number two begins to emerge on November 16, and 21, through the defence case statement. “The Crown say the defence case statement was late because Stewart was bereaving away, filling the statement with every part he could of this tale he had made up. “But in order to do so this tale becomes utterly absurd.
“This tale involves people called Nick and Joe, who have no names beyond that, it involves kidnappers who exposed themselves to the defendant - there was no need to do that, because according to this defendant they knew his phone number.
“Why would they bother to risk coming to the house?”
Why on earth would the kidnappers want to meet in Broadstairs and why would they want Helen's phone?'
“These people have to have Stewart go to Broadstairs, because by now Stewart knows the phone has been seen in Broadstairs.
“Why on earth would the kidnappers want to meet in Broadstairs, and why would they want Helen’s phone?
“What can that phone have in it in any value to Nick and Joe? It first went on the network in 2011.
“John Sinfield died before 2011.
“The only purpose of weaving that into the story is to get the phone to the router in Broadstairs.”

No way! That would be allowing no time for the closing arguments from both counsels.
