 At the trial in January 2017, the prosecution alleged Stewart had secretly drugged Bailey with zopiclone sleeping pills for several months before suffocating her.It was subsequently alleged that she may still have been alive when dumped in the cesspit.During the trial, the prosecution claimed that Stewart had inadvertently connected Bailey's mobile phone to the WiFi router in the couple's holiday home in Kent when he visited it the day after reporting her missing, an event which prosecutor Stuart Trimmer called 'very significant'.
