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

'Everything was normal' says Oliver Stewart

On a normal Friday night Oliver would drive home from work, see his dad, have a shower and wait for his girlfriend to finish work, he said.

“On the Sunday (April 10, 2016) I popped back to the house to collect work clothes for Monday. I remember seeing Helen, who asked if I wanted any food and I said no. “I popped into the lounge to see dad and Jamie. I was at the house no more than 20 minutes.

“I spent the night at my girlfriend’s parents house, and went directly to work.

“On the evening of April 11, 2016, I would’ve been attending cadets as that is a usual occurrence for a Monday and a Wednesday.

“I would’ve gone home to change. I did see dad, it was a brief conversation because dad knows my Monday night routine.

“It was normal. Everything was normal. I didn’t see Helen or the dog.

“Usually I would be home at 10pm, but this night was different and I was delayed coming home. I got home about 11.30pm, and I didn’t see anyone.”

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?

I haven't heard anything to change my opinion.

Oliver Stewart - like his brother Jamie - tells court he had not been previously aware of his father's engagement to Helen Bailey.

Dad wasn't complaining of any injury', says second son

On Tuesday, April 12, Oliver said he went directly to work at 7.15am and didn’t see anyone before he left.

“On the Tuesday night, I came in from work and had something arranged with my girlfriend.

“I was rushing getting ready and dad said he wanted to have a quick chat with me.

“He was in the study, dad said Helen had gone for a break to Broadstairs and said that’s where she was. “I said ‘fair enough’ and that’s about it. I didn’t feel that was anything unusual, that’s her holiday home and that’s her space.

“Dad seemed fine in himself, wasn’t complaining of any injury or hurt.”

'No reason why Helen would have been upset'

Oliver said his dad then let him know that he was going to report Helen as missing to police.

Oliver said his dad told him that Helen’s family and close friends hadn’t been able to get hold of her.

Oliver said he was away that weekend (April 16/17) and was back at work the next Monday.

Oliver said there were no disagreements between Helen and Stewart, no reason why Helen would have been upset.

At this stage, Oliver said he wasn’t aware of the couple’s engagements.

“I was told about a note dad said Helen had left. He mentioned there was a note left saying she had gone for a break in Broadstairs”, he tells jurors.

“Dad said he was having his hair cut in Royston before he came home and the note was found.”

[Interested Bystander]

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?

At the moment, for me, there is far too much circumstantial evidence which cannot be ignored.

A hair cut TOO on April 11! For a man supposedly in ill health, IS has done more in a few hours than I can get through in a few days!

Needs must when the devil drives

I was wondering if it could have been the Tuesday that Oliver is referring to the hair cut. But that can't be right because Helen had to leave the note on the Monday.

More on Helen Bailey's Jeep

“Dad said nothing about the circumstances of Helen going missing. Helen had a white Jeep, it was a new car.

“It was kept outside when the car first arrived and Helen practiced moving it around. After Helen was no longer there, dad moved the Jeep into the garage.

“That’s where the car stayed after Helen went missing.”

Sounds like the Monday to me.
“I was told about a note dad said Helen had left. He mentioned there was a note left saying she had gone for a break in Broadstairs”, he tells jurors.

“Dad said he was having his hair cut in Royston before he came home and the note was found.”

#helenbailey court hears Ian Stewart told son Oliver two men called Nick & Joe wanted paperwork & punched him in stomach

A description of 'Nick and Joe'

Police posed a number of questions to Oliver in December 2016.

Some weeks before this, Oliver had been to visit Stewart.

“There was a conversation linked to Helen’s disappearance. He said two men called Nick and Joe might have been involved.

“He made me aware there were these two guys, he said they’d been to the house in a couple of accounts when me and my brother would have been at work.

“He said when they were coming they wanted to find out from Helen about some paperwork.

“Apparently they came to find this paperwork, Helen claimed to know nothing of it, they seemed to be fairly sure she would have known something of it.

“Apparently on one occasion when they arrived, having known dad had had an operation, they decided to punch him in the stomach at least once.

“Helen claimed to know nothing of it, but may have got a bit anxious about it all.

“Dad said one time that the two men were saying about the paperwork, so Helen asked them to look into the study.

“I don’t think he said directly what this had to do with Helen’s disappearance.

“Nothing was said about Helen’s phone. The way dad was warning me of these two guys, I could tell by the way he was telling me, facial expressions and so on, I could tell this was no joke and it was a serious matter to be aware of.

“He explained one of the men had tattoos and another man was bald. He said roughly what they looked like.

“He let me know that the men had given him a phone and were instructing him to do things via the phone.

“I never saw this phone, and this was the first time any of this was ever mentioned.”

#helenbailey Ian Stewart son Jamie: Dad found it difficult even to pick up a dinner tray. Suffered from health problems



Russell Hookey ‏@RusshookeyITV 1m1 minute ago

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"

If Ian Stewart couldn't 'lift a dinner tray' then I doubt he'd be able to manhandle a double/kingsize duvet either then! ... or could he?

Oliver Stewart gives cross-examination

“Dad said the two men spoke to him via the mobile phone they had given to him.

“He had never mentioned any of this before now (December 2016).”

Oliver is now being cross-examined by the defence. He admits that Helen’s Jeep hadn’t been put into the garage until after April 15, 2016.

Oliver confirmed that at the time police first attended the Royston house, there was nothing covering up that manhole cover (to the cesspit) in the garage.

I can´t help myself, I have been thinking this since I heard about Joe and Nick, I think they are apart of the Foreign Faction, it seems to be their MO...(to new members this is a bad joke from the JonBenet case)
