Family of killer Ian Stewart's first wife back police probe into her death

The family of cesspit killer Ian Stewart's first wife have announced their support for a police probe into her sudden death.

The "wicked" predator was branded a "real danger to women" as he was jailed for 34 years at St Albans Crown Court for smothering his fiancee, children's author Helen Bailey.

The death of Diane Stewart, who was found in the garden of the house she shared with Stewart in 2010, is set to be re-examined following the conviction.
