I echo the comments of Tortoise, TheRisenBishop and others. We are euphoric at this long-awaited guilty verdict, that delivers justice at last for Helen, Boris, their family and everyone who loved them. But inevitably we experience a feeling of anti-climax, as the awful truth hits us again that they are gone, never to return.
I recognise as many have said, that there are no winners and that many people's lives have been blighted by IS. But today I will focus my sympathies and prayers on Helen's family and friends. When she met IS, a poison entered her life that would spell her destruction. For me, he and everything that surrounded him and their entirely false life in Royston, represents the wrong turning that spelled her doom.
Her own family are uncontaminated in this respect. As is Highgate, the place she was happiest for many years with her beloved husband JS. I think in due course it would be wonderful if some kind of memorial was placed in Highgate for Helen and Boris, that is surely the place where their spirits will return. I imagine them together in Waterlow Park where I often walked with Dolly-Dog, the wind in their hair and a spring in their step. I lived in Highgate for twenty years and I still visit often. I will always hold a good thought for Helen and Boris when I go there, as I do for a dear friend who also lived in Highgate and who by coincidence also died in April of last year, far too young leaving behind many broken hearts.
And so the next step comes tomorrow, when Judge Bright spells out the wickedness of this man, the cold, premeditated nature of the murder and all the aggravating features that will surely spell a very long prison sentence.
Then Ian Stewart will be sent down, to disappear from public view forever and be forgotten like the insignificant waste of oxygen he is.
Meanwhile Helen and Boris, those beautiful trusting souls who gave so much to this world, will be forever remembered with love and affection and carried safe in the hearts of those who loved them.
