GUILTY UK - Helen Bailey, 51, Royston, 11 April 2016 #1

[Alyce]

On the weekend before Easter 2016, Stewart was in Addenbrooke’s as it was believed he had some form of cancerous lump, the court was told.

Easter week end was March 26/27 in 2016

So week end before March 19/20

Christmas and Valentine's Day cards found in couple's bedroom

In the house during the site visit on Friday, there was a Christmas card, from Helen to Stewart, addressed to ‘my fiance’ in the couple’s bedroom, the court was told.

There was also a Valentine’s card along the same lines.

Jamie said: “During the week of April 11, dad rang me while I was at work to say himself and Helen had arranged tickets for us to go to the snooker championships. My birthday was a few weeks after.

“In the end we went while Helen was missing. We wanted to get away from the house as it was very different without Boris there”, he added.

Jamie reiterated to the court that there was nothing unusual about his dad on the evening of April 11 - the date of Helen’s alleged murder

I'm still a bit baffled why the engagement had to be hush hush.

Ian Stewart 'was becoming very forgetful'

Jamie said in the week of April 11, his dad was becoming very forgetful, and was forgetting things such as Pin numbers. He wanted to make a note of things like that in case he did forget them.

He said during the first search of the house, after Helen’s disappearance, there were ‘a lot’ of police officers searching the house and garage etc, together with police dogs.

“Dad had been saying he wanted to go down to Broadstairs and look for Helen himself, just in case there was something someone else might not have noticed. A note at the house said ‘Gone to Broadstairs. Ring me. Love you xx’ I thought that was Helen’s scrawling writing, it turns out this was a note Dad had written in case Helen came back while he was in Broadstairs.”

Jamie Stewart tells court he told police he couldn't see how her dad could have moved Helen Bailey's body, after operation weakened him



Yes, I thought that's what they were building up to ! to me, it just reinforces the method used, suffocation of a heavily drugged woman who gave no resistance - rather than stabbing or strangulation or a more active form of murder.

As to moving Helen - I think the vital need to do so would have got the adrenalin pumping.

Plus, there could have been some form of trolley available ( I have one in my shed for moving heavy stuff around ) ...or he could have used the car, as I've thought before.
Once there, the movement he has to make with Helen's body is downwards into the pit, so momentum would take over and help , rather than if he had to lift her body and put it in a higher elevation.

Key items missing from the house

Jamie said he thought a green wax coat, some wellies, a distinctive yellow collar and a ‘go to’ lead were all missing when he and his brother searched the house to see if any of Helen’s things were gone.

“We looked round after police asked us if anything was missing.

“Boris (the dog) didn’t wear a collar at home because his legs would get stuck in it, but obviously he needed a lead for outside”, he added.

Ian Stewart's son Jamie has told Helen Bailey murder trial that Ian is not an angry man....."I couldn't imagine him wanting to hurt Helen"

Stewart 'too ill to move a body'?

Jamie said to police ‘I can’t see how my dad would have moved her (Helen)’ as his dad was still struggling due to ill health and struggled to reach some of the cupboards in the house.

He told police: “I couldn’t imagine him wanting to harm her at all. He’s not someone who gets angry, he walks away from any confrontation.”

“There were various stages where dad appeared to me to be confused. There were stages where he acted like he was quite unaware as to where Helen might be.

“There was never any word or slipped comment at all as to where Helen might be.”

Jamie Stewart completes his evidence

Being re-examined by the prosecution, Jamie said he wasn’t aware that his dad had been to a waste disposal site on the afternoon of April 11, 2016.

He said it surprised him to find out his dad had been there.

When Helen was missing, Jamie was asked possible reasons by the police as to why Helen might have gone, including suicide or whether someone might have hurt her.

In that context Jamie was asked about whether his father could harm Helen, which is when he made the above comments.

Jamie Stewart has now finished giving evidence.

Oliver Stewart says dad told him Helen Bailey was away and had "gone for a break" to her holiday home - he didn't think it was unusual.

 

[MillyM]

If I were on the jury, I think at this stage, I would start having doubts about this being a clear cut murder. Just me?

Oliver Stewart starts his evidence

Ian Stewart’s other son, Oliver, is now giving evidence.

He works as an apprentice at Cambridge University’s Pembroke College.
