Ian Stewart's son takes to the dock
The next witness is one of Ian Stewart’s sons, Jamie Stewart.
Jamie said he made a number of statements to police when Helen was reported missing, and a further one ‘when it became plain’ that Helen’s body was found in the cesspit of the garage.
He said: “The first few statements I gave was when I thought Helen was still alive bit missing, the next few I knew she had died.”
Jamie said he had lived at the £1.5m Royston house with Stewart, Helen, and his brother Oliver for two years.
“On the weekend before April 11 I was at home all weekend. In the evenings Helen was definitely home but during the day I think she had been out to do some shopping.
“Helen wasn’t a confident driver, when I first came to know her she had a small Fiat 500. Moving into the countryside she struggled with confidence whilst driving and a few weeks before she went missing she got a large car, a White Jeep, to give her a little bit more confidence.”

Ian Stewart visited son's bowls club on day of alleged murder, court hears
“My dad told me that on the Monday [April 11] Helen had come home saying she never wanted to drive again.
“On a Monday I normally get up at 7.30am, and I did the same this Monday. We have an alarm at the house.
“When I got up I was going to work in Royston. After work I had a bowls match in Cambridge, and planned to go directly from work to Cambridge.
“I got through to the final of the competition, it was an important match.
“Dad and I had spoken over the weekend over whether he was coming, and he wasn’t sure whether he was going to come or not.
“I got to the bowls club and he was just walking in in front of me, I was surprised to see him there but I was happy.
“In the game I lost and was disappointed. Coming back from Cambridge, I went straight home and dad said he would get me a Chinese to cheer me up.
“There’s one we normally use on the market hill in Royston. I saw him next at home.”

No sign of Helen or Boris at family home
“I got home between 9-10pm. I only had chance to speak to him for five minutes after the bowls match, nothing was said about Helen at that point.
“When I got home I only saw my dad. We had a Chinese in the living room whilst watching TV and talking how the game had gone. Nothing was said about Helen at that point. I’d assume she was home as both of her cars were there, her Jeep was outside.”
“The following day, on April 12, I saw the Jeep was still outside and hadn’t moved.
“Normally when you come home and walk through the front door Boris (the dog) comes bounding up to meet you saying hello. I remember that didn’t happen [on this day].
“I remember looking in the garden for them but couldn’t see any sign of Helen or Boris.
“When I’d seen they weren’t there, I saw my dad and asked if Helen and Boris had gone for a walk.
“He said Helen had gone to Broadstairs to get some time to herself, and left a note to say not to contact her.”

I wouldn't say it was necessarily very odd. It is a large house and we don't know what Helen's habits were.

Stewart was "visible more stressed out"
Jamie Stewart’s evidence continues.
“Dad said he couldn’t get in touch with Helen as her phone was turned off”, he said.
“Throughout that week he began to get visibly more stressed out and was spending a lot more time with myself and my brother, just wanting to be around us generally.
“As a family dad would spend more time with Helen, but during the course of that week he spent a lot more time with me than normally would be the case.”

'When Helen went missing'
“On the Friday (April 15) I had a lot of missed calls from my dad. He told me not to worry when I got home but there were quite a few police cars at the house as Helen had been reported missing.
“The dog wasn’t at home either. He (Boris) was the most important thing in her life, she had him since he was a puppy, she got him before her previous husband passed away. There was a very close bond between them.
“When Helen was missing, I thought she’d be in Broadstairs. I didn’t initially have concerns about any of her clothes. After she was reported missing police had searched her house and asked if anything was missing. We thought there was some wellies and a rain coat of Helen’s that wasn’t there, as well as the most commonly-used dog’s collar.
“If she went out walking she would always take that raincoat and her phone with her.”

Stewart's illness 'caused him to be tired' during public search for Helen
There were searches locally and Jamie said he knew there was widespread coverage of Helen’s disappearance in the media.
“I found out they were engaged after a conversation with police officers after Helen was reported missing.
“Around that time Dad had been in hospital. On the week of April 11, he had been recovering well but still spent a lot of time resting.
“He’d come to Cambridge and I thought it was the first time he’d traveled that distance. He told me his stitches were sore from sitting in the car for so long.
“I visited him in hospital several times. On occasions Helen was more than concerned about him being in hospital.
“He had an operation on his intestines but he also has a long-standing illness which weakens the muscles around his throat. This can cause breathing difficulties. Generally the illness caused him to be tired at times.”
