Rages of wife killer
EVIL Ian Stewart had a volcanic temper that once erupted in a row over a hedge.
Stewart, 56, murdered his author wife Helen Bailey and dumped her body in a cesspit beneath their home.
He was jailed for 34 years after drugging her with sleeping pills, smothering her and hiding her body.
He killed Helen, author of the Electra Brown teen novels, to inherit her £3.5million fortune.
Next door neighbour Marko Humphrey-Lahti, 59, said Stewart turned nasty in a dispute over who owned a hedge.
He said: “I saw the dark side to Ian and it wasn’t pretty.
“He was shouting and swearing about this hedge. He was trying his hardest to intimidate my wife. He’d gone red-faced with anger.
“In the end we had to contact our solicitor to get hold of the deeds to our house to prove that we did actually own the hedge.”
Mr Humphrey-Lahti said Stewart would also throw stones at his dogs to stop them barking. A PICTURE of a full English breakfast was considered for the new £1 coin, the Royal Mint’s chief engraver has revealed.
Gordon Summers said the fry-up was one of the most popular of more than 6,000 entries in a competition to find a design to appear on the opposite side of the coin to the Queen. But he added: “The breakfast designs were ruled out because the coin had to feature something that represented the four home nations and it had to be appropriate.”
The competition was won by 15-year-old David Pearce, from Walsall, West Mids.
His design features a rose, leek, thistle and shamrock emerging from a Royal coronet.
