Cesspit killer Ian Stewart paid tribute to first wife on her birthday with ‘X’ Facebook post just nine days after murdering fiance Helen Bailey
KILLER Ian Stewart remembered the wife he lost to “a sudden unexplained death” with a kiss on her birthday on social media - just nine days after reporting fiancé Helen Bailey missing.
The evil husband posted a simple tribute to Diane on her Facebook memorial page.
A huge kiss from him marks the sixth birthday since her death on April 24 last year.
Above is his name, the date and a picture of him smiling with popular children’s author Helen and her pet dog – at this time both had chillingly been murdered by him.
On the tribute page Diane’s sister Wendy Bellamy-Lee posted: “Birthday remembrance wishes dear Diane. Love always.”
