Children's author Helen Bailey's partner jailed for 34 years for murder

Children's author Helen Bailey's partner jailed for 34 years for murder LONDON: The partner of children's author Helen Bailey has been sentenced to at least 34 years in prison(जेल) for murdering her and dumping her body in a cesspool(नाबदान) at their home. Judge Andrew Bright told Ian Stewart it was "difficult to imagine a more heinous(घृणित)  crime." The judge said Thursday that Stewart posed

a "real danger" to women.

Bailey, 56, was convicted Wednesday of murdering Bailey, hiding her body in a cesspool and then reporting her missing.

Prosecutors say Stewart poisoned (जहर) the 51-year-old writer with prescription sedatives then smothered her to gain her 3.3 million-pound ($4.1 million) estate.

Bailey created the Electra Brown and Daisy Davenport series of novels for teenagers(किशोरों) and wrote a blog called Planet Grief after her husband of 22 years drowned during a Caribbean holiday in 2011.
