This has been such a strange trial compared to Helen Bailey’s one. So little coverage in the news that it’s hard to know exactly what’s going to happen. Fingers crossed for the right result all the same…

Moments after Diane died, Stewart phoned 999 to claim she had suffered a fit.

Stuart Trimmer QC, prosecuting, called this 'a lying charade', adding: 'You're a devious man, Mr Stewart.

What an utterly repellent and odious coward Stewart is. Killing two women who loved and cared for him, in a cold and calculated way, because he didn’t want have to deal with them anymore and/or monetary gain. Evil waste of space.

As well as Diane and Helen themselves, I am very sorry for Stewart and Diane’s two sons to have lost their mother, and then their father’s partner who by all accounts was kind and generous to them after that loss, in such horrendous circumstances.

I hope to see a whole-life sentence handed down (not that at his age Stewart has much prospect of being released anyway, but on principle for two premeditated murders, years apart).

Justice for you at long last Diane.

On Wednesday, a jury of seven women and five men found Stewart guilty of murder after deliberating for almost ten hours.

Stuart Trimmer QC, prosecuting, had earlier told the court that Ms Stewart was likely killed by suffocation either with a plastic bag or a form of neckhold.

Giving evidence, Stewart continued to protest his innocence and referred to his conviction for Ms Bailey’s murder as “the previous miscarriage of justice”.

The prosecutor said that, at various points in the call, Stewart indicated he needed to place the phone on the floor - which suggested he had previously been holding it in his hand when he was supposedly using both hands to perform chest compressions.
