MILLIONAIRE AUTHOR DRUGGED, KILLED & BURIED IN CESSPIT BY LOVER

ENGAGED: Writer Helen Bailey with fiance Ian Stewart and ( the home they shared A TOP children’s author was plied with sedatives and “probably suffocated” by her partner before being dumped in a cesspit below her home, a court has been told.

Helen Bailey, 51, was found deep in the grounds of her £1.5 million property in Royston, Herts, in July 2016 – three months after she was reported missing.

Her fiance, Ian Stewart, 56, of Royston, is accused of “secretly” giving her a sleeping drug over a period of time and in increasing amounts.

Then on April 11, it is alleged he killed her while she was in a “stupefied” state and hid her remains in the waste tank below the garage at the home they shared – parking a car over the access point. ACCUSED: Stewart in court yesterday said to be in line for a “substantial financial advantage” of around £1.8m plus the value of the two properties she owned, in the event of her death.

Ms Bailey was said to be “very successful” and worth around £4m, earning around £5,000 each month in royalties from her books.

Mr Trimmer said: “The couple had made financial arrangements that meant, in the event of the death of Helen Bailey before the wedding, Ian Stewart would obtain the house and a very substantial financial advantage.”

The victim was said to have been concerned leading up to her death that she was feeling unnaturally sleepy. INSTAGRAM got an injection of serious sex appeal when fitness model Cassandre Davis uploaded this sizzling photo.

Mr Trimmer added: “The defendant secretly administered a sleeping drug to her in increasing amounts. The crown case is that by early afternoon on April 11, the only other person in that house, Ian Stewart, killed her, probably by suffocation while she was sedated by the drugs he had administered for some time.”

It is alleged that a “charade” followed: the defendant sent texts to his partner’s phone, despite allegedly having possession of it himself, and supported a media campaign to trace her.

Stewart denies all charges of murder, three counts of perverting the course of justice, preventing a lawful burial and fraud.
