:00:28. > :00:31.And Storm Doris is expected to bring strong winds across the region
:00:32. > :00:34.tomorrow. Join me at the end of the programme for the details.
:00:35. > :00:42.Police said he preyed on a wealthy widow and lied to everyone,
:00:43. > :00:44.and today Ian Stewart was found guilty of killing Royston
:00:45. > :00:48.During a six-week trial at St Albans Crown Court,
:00:49. > :00:51.the jury heard how Mr Stewart reported his fiancee missing,
:00:52. > :00:54.when in fact he had drugged her, smothered her and hidden her body
:00:55. > :00:59.It took them just six hours to find him guilty of her murder.
:01:00. > :01:09.The moment the police caught up with Ian Stewart.
:01:10. > :01:11.Anything you do say may be given in evidence...
:01:12. > :01:13.Arrested early in the morning in dressing gown, slumped
:01:14. > :01:20.on the stairs in the home he shared with Helen Bailey.
:01:21. > :01:28.My partner has been missing since Monday.
:01:29. > :01:31.This the voice of a killer as he calmly reported Helen Bailey
:01:32. > :01:48.I think Ian Stewart is a particularly wicked and cynical man.
:01:49. > :01:51.He has lied to us, his own family and the family of Helen Bailey
:01:52. > :01:54.throughout this enquiry and made it very challenging for us
:01:55. > :01:57.All along Helen's body was here, beneath the garage
:01:58. > :01:59.Sedated, suffocated, possibly still alive,
:02:00. > :02:02.Ian Stewart drop her and Boris, her much-loved dog, down inside.
:02:03. > :02:06.At their home officers questioned him about the day Helen disappeared.
:02:07. > :02:18.After weeks of drugging her with his sleeping pills he killed her.
:02:19. > :02:24.After weeks of drugging her with his sleeping pills he killed her.
:02:25. > :02:31.Just hours after the murder, CCTV captured Ian Stewart
:02:32. > :02:39.This is a man Helen Bailey called her gorgeous grey-haired widower,
:02:40. > :02:42.she fell for him after her husband of 23 years, John Sinfield,
:02:43. > :02:50.She first wrote a blog and then the book about her grief.
:02:51. > :02:53.My name is Helen Bailey and I would like to introduce
:02:54. > :02:56.you to my new book, which is called When Bad Things Happen
:02:57. > :03:02.Subtitled, Life After Death And A Dog Called Boris.
:03:03. > :03:04.In the summer of 2013 she moved to Royston
:03:05. > :03:09.When she was reported missing, her neighbour frantic with worry...
:03:10. > :03:28.Words can't convey what I feel about him.
:03:29. > :03:33.You know, I look at her house and the garage where she was found
:03:34. > :03:38.everyday and instead of seeing Helen that I used to see, knowing
:03:39. > :03:41.when she finished writing and went to bed at night,
:03:42. > :03:48.I'm now just have these awful memories of what
:03:49. > :03:55.Police today confirmed they will be examining the death
:03:56. > :03:56.of Stuart's late wife, Diane.
:03:57. > :04:01.She died after having an epileptic seizure in the garden of their home.
:04:02. > :04:04.There is no suggestion that she died of anything other
:04:05. > :04:07.than natural causes, but of course it will be part
:04:08. > :04:12.of our enquiries moving forward from this conviction.
:04:13. > :04:17.After a six-week trial the jury took just six hours
:04:18. > :04:22.to convict Ian Stewart of betraying his new partner's love
:04:23. > :04:28.and trust in the most brutal way possible.
:04:29. > :04:30.So what drives an outwardly loving fiance like Ian
:04:31. > :04:35.Earlier I asked criminal psychologist, Dr Samantha Lundrigan,
:04:36. > :04:37.if this kind of partner killing is particularly rare.
:04:38. > :04:39.Cases unfortunately of female partners being killed by their male
:04:40. > :04:45.I think in 2015 50% of women who were killed
:04:46. > :04:46.were killed by partners or ex-partners.
:04:47. > :04:53.a very premeditated and planned instrumental crime where in fact
:04:54. > :04:55.the murder was kind of instrumental or incidental to the goal,
:04:56. > :04:58.which it seems, to all intents and purposes, to have
:04:59. > :05:05.Police described him a narcissistic and selfish.
:05:06. > :05:09.Obviously being after someone's money is a selfish act,
:05:10. > :05:15.but what more will they mean by that term narcissistic?
:05:16. > :05:18.Well, right from the start it is clear there was only one
:05:19. > :05:20.person that mattered in this, from the investigation starting,
:05:21. > :05:24.There was no regard for his victim, his victim's family, his own family,
:05:25. > :05:27.other people involved, right the way up until today
:05:28. > :05:29.when the verdict came out, Stewart was claiming to be innocent
:05:30. > :05:32.and giving us this elaborate story that it was somebody else's
:05:33. > :05:47.fault and with no regard for anybody else's killings.
:05:48. > :05:49.He put her body in a cesspit, a horrible thing, at the
:05:50. > :05:54.It may be to the individual but more likely is that was
:05:55. > :06:04.thought of in terms of not being discovered and he may well have
:06:05. > :06:06.thought that environment may have helped destroy any forensic evidence
:06:07. > :06:16.that might have been there that would have linked him to the crime.
:06:17. > :06:19.What will he be thinking now he has been found out, found guilty?
:06:20. > :06:22.I wonder if he may actually be thinking he is the victim.
:06:23. > :06:25.The role he was playing in this, he has convinced himself in some
:06:26. > :06:30.ways he may have been entitled to that money and even though
:06:31. > :06:34.he created the story and ruse to get away with it,
:06:35. > :06:41.actually, it is not fair he did not, and actually he is the victim.
:06:42. > :06:44.I know in court today there was a bit of the shake
:06:45. > :06:46.of the head when the verdict was read out.
:06:47. > :06:49.Again, that does not strike me as someone filled with remorse
:06:50. > :06:52.and regret for what they have done but, again, only Ian Stewart
:06:53. > :06:55.Next tonight - a warning that the region's farmers
:06:56. > :06:58.could struggle to produce enough food if Brexit leads
:06:59. > :07:01.Today landowners and farmers have been to Westminster,
:07:02. > :07:03.urging MPs to safeguard the supply of migrant labour.
:07:04. > :07:11.A rainy day on this Cambridgeshire farm.
:07:12. > :07:16.But even today Svetoslav is hard at work.
:07:17. > :07:18.He is one of eight Eastern Europeans employed
:07:19. > :07:21.permanently here, up to 20 others join them over the summer months.
:07:22. > :07:25.The falling value of the pound is already making a difference.
:07:26. > :07:33.I don't know how much exactly but I know
:07:34. > :07:39.The same amount of work and you are going to take less money.
:07:40. > :07:52.His crops, including potatoes and onions,
:07:53. > :07:56.The industry is already struggling to recruit in this
:07:57. > :07:58.country, so teams of seasonal migrant labourers
:07:59. > :08:01.success, and he is already considering other options, just in
:08:02. > :08:09.It does worry us and I believe, from the farming
:08:10. > :08:11.perspective, we have got to invest in new
:08:12. > :08:12.technology and particular in
:08:13. > :08:17.We need to make use of more labour-saving and the use of
:08:18. > :08:19.robotics in the field and our warehouses.
:08:20. > :08:21.This afternoon the Government was asked for
:08:22. > :08:25.confirmation about the status of both permanent and temporary foreign
:08:26. > :08:38.The NFU, which represents farmers and rural
:08:39. > :08:41.businesses, says they are critical to the industry's success and want
:08:42. > :08:43.the Government to take note, given current recruitment problems.
:08:44. > :08:45.Because we are already seeing and have evidence
:08:46. > :08:48.through our surveys, we are seeing a shortfall in people
:08:49. > :08:50.That was massively exacerbated after the
:08:51. > :08:53.referendum, with the exchange rate and people feeling less welcome.
:08:54. > :08:56.That ask has been in for some time now and we really do need an answer.
:08:57. > :08:59.A Government spokesman told us supporting farmers will form an
:09:00. > :09:03.important part of our exit from the EU and
:09:04. > :09:08.the Prime Minister says she
:09:09. > :09:11.wants to protect the status of EU national already living here.
:09:12. > :09:15.We definitely do need the seasonal supply
:09:16. > :09:19.of labour and access from
:09:20. > :09:22.Europe and indeed also we need a seasonal agricultural workers
:09:23. > :09:24.scheme, which is a scheme that used to exist
:09:25. > :09:27.four years ago, which will give us global access to labour as well
:09:28. > :09:34.Svetoslav remains positive and says he has a good life
:09:35. > :09:42.The home of the Formula 1 British Grand Prix in Northampton
:09:43. > :09:44.is no longer for sale, its owner has announced.
:09:45. > :09:47.The British Racing Drivers Club said it has decided to
:09:48. > :09:48."shelve discussions about a sale" of Silverstone Circuit.
:09:49. > :09:50.Potential investors including the Jaguar Land Rover group
:09:51. > :09:54.and MotorSport Vision had previously shown interest.
:09:55. > :09:57.The statement added the move is "not without risk".
:09:58. > :09:59.And that's the late news from Look East.
:10:00. > :10:04.I'll leave you with the weather from Alex.
:10:05. > :10:07.Some fairly lively weather conditions over
:10:08. > :10:15.At the moment, rather cloudy with further outbreaks
:10:16. > :10:17.of rain through the night, with the wind picking up
:10:18. > :10:19.from the south-west but remaining relatively mild with temperatures
:10:20. > :10:21.only down to around Eight Celsius tonight.
:10:22. > :10:22.Tomorrow, we start already quite windy.
:10:23. > :10:25.Storm Doris moving in is expected to bring some damaging wind
:10:26. > :10:28.gusts in the afternoon and we are in the amber
:10:29. > :10:29.weather warning zone for the strength of winds,
:10:30. > :10:32.with gusts of between 60-70 mph from about 3pm.
:10:33. > :10:34.We start the day with some outbreaks of rain, some drier interludes
:10:35. > :10:38.with the wind really picking up around the middle of the day coming
:10:39. > :10:40.from the south-west initially but turning round to the north-west,
:10:41. > :10:43.and this is when they will particularly be at their strongest.
:10:44. > :10:45.So those are our average wind speeds, but gusts between 60-70
:10:46. > :10:51.miles an hour are possible during the evening rush hour.
:10:52. > :10:54.The national weather is coming up here is the outlook,
:10:55. > :11:04.and much calmer conditions by the end of the week.
:11:05. > :11:07.some sunshine around and light winds. For more on Doris and its
:11:08. > :11:11.impact, here is the national weather.
:11:12. > :11:18.Good evening, a rough patch weather on the way. Time to fasten your seat
:11:19. > :11:24.belt. A high wind warning from the Met office, an amber one, so pretty
:11:25. > :11:27.severe. Let's see where Storm Doris is right now, only just developing
:11:28. > :11:31.to the west of the UK, in its early stages which is not good because it
:11:32. > :11:37.will be at its peak when it crosses the UK. You can see this hook of
:11:38. > :11:40.cloud which is where the twisting is starting to happen, which is where
:11:41. > :11:44.the big mid-latitude cyclone is starting to develop and it will slam
:11:45. > :11:48.into the centre of the UK during the morning and move across the country
:11:49. > :11:51.through the morning and into the afternoon. Two rounds from this
:11:52. > :11:53.storm, we will see some snow across southern and central parts of
:11:54. > :11:54.Scotland first
