Sorry, I was so angry there, I forgot to add the main comment.

Which is RIP Helen, a lovely, lovely person, gone far too soon

I hope she is walking happily through meadows with Boris, JS and Rufus....:rose::rose::rose::rose:

Three months she's been lying there, in her own bloody garden.

I'm not surprised but I am ANGRY!

RIP Helen

Yeah, so am I cagney.

Why didn't they find her when last there, when the tank was drained, and why did the B*std do it.

There were so many signs. Maybe they were waiting for him to take the money.

 

[Tortoise]

Rufus??

 

[Alyce]

Rufus??

Helen and her husband John had a daschund called Rufus...when he died ( very sad circumstances ) they then got Boris.

 

[faybradshaw]

Maybe they were waiting until he fell into their trap We will have to wait for the police statement to come out...

 

[Tortoise]

Oh its just dreadful. Such a lovely clever talented lady. Even if she wasn't it's dreadful, but I think because she contributed so much with her writing that resonated and made me laugh, it's doubly tragic.

 

[faybradshaw]

So much for IS's parents and even his first wife's mother not believing it could be him

 

[Legally Bland]

RIP Helen (and probably Boris).

So much for IS's parents and even his first wife's mother not believing it could be him

That doesn't surprise me tbh, but I suspect that former mother-in-law will now have doubts about what she thought she knew before.

 

[Alyce]

I am so sad and so angry , am not sure I can find the right words to express my thoughts right now, without getting banned.

This lovely lady who battled through her personal tragedy of being widowed at such a young age and then managed to give so much help to many deeply distressed and unhappy widows and widowers, via her blog.
For her to end her life in this tragic and probably painful way is simply so cruel.

I will reserve judgement until we find out exactly what happened - but to the person or persons who decided they had the right to take away Helen's life ( and no doubt the life of little Boris ) I hope the justice system simply locks you up and leaves you to rot.

If son was living at home at the time, it seems very likely he knew something.

I wondered that. Or the partner covering for the son?

 

[MillyM]

From the Monday to not reporting her missing for four days, all time to fabricate a story that had legs. Then the 'note' that the police all along seemed very cagey about, not saying if typed or handwritten or what (and as I queried earlier here, if the latter was a graphologist called in to analyze the writing to verify it being hers), then his not talking to the media or any TV appeals - as almost all family do in such cases - whether or not the police have long suspected but not had the evidence to convict on, it all looked very suspicious from the off. Will be intetesting to see if he pleads guilty and what his motives were. Money? Very keen to attend this trial when it does eventually come to court as I am sure there is a hell of a lot going to come out about what friends and family really thought of him.

 

[Tortoise]

3 months. Are they going to be able to determine cause of death after that time?

Well they were there all day (Monday was it?) and still released him next day, so her body must have been very well hidden. I don't know why they don't use cadavers to help in searches more than they do.

 

[faybradshaw]

I know this comes from The Sun tabloid, who are known for their sensationalism,, but they reported that one of her neighbours had said Helen wanted to leave IS

 

[Alyce]

I still wonder if there even was a note. IS could have said he had thrown it away.

The unwillingness to
speak to the Press
support the calls for a reconstruction of Helen's last known movements
go on the dog walk, held on the heath, right outside the front door of the house

The request, right from the beginning, for no press questions
and going off on holiday just 8 weeks after Helen, allegedly, went missing.

All of the above ...........

Yes Milly, my belief is this is down to money

That is true, they began Monday and found Helen on Thursday. But why didnt they use cadavers and detection equipment which will sense human remains. Those two methods should be standard.

 

[faybradshaw]

I hope they look into his 1st wife's death too, now. Wondering if she had and IS got paid out for Life policies taken out on her life.

 

[MillyM]

Yes Milly, my belief is this is down to money

I was wondering if it could have been control? She was having second thoughts, wanted to leave him as she found him too dominating, but he wouldn't let go...?

I think it might be this, an argument that got out of control. Surely there is no way anyone is stupid enough to plan a murder involving burying them in their garden, taking money from the victims bank account and then jet off on their hols.
