Alex Pope
BBC Local LiveThe defence team in the case of Ian Stewart, accused of killing Royston author Helen Bailey, have finished summing up at St Albans Crown Court.
Today the jury was told Mr Stewart, 56, was trapped in a "terrible nightmare" after being accused of a murder he did not commit.
His defence argued "others are guilty, not him", and it was two kidnappers called Nick and Joe who killed Ms Bailey.
Jurors heard the cesspit under the garage of their home on Baldock Road was the last place Mr Stewart would want to hide his bride-to-be.
Mr Stewart's team said "crucial" witness evidence demonstrated the Hertfordshire author was still alive beyond the date of the alleged murder.
Judge Andrew Bright has now started his summing up.
Mr Stewart denies murder, preventing a lawful burial, fraud, and three counts of perverting the course of justice.
Court resumes on Monday.
