NI murderer drops one of her appeals
A woman jailed for the murder of her policeman husband in the North more than 20 years ago has dropped her appeal against conviction, a court heard today.
However Hazel Stewart, 49, is still challenging a jury’s verdict which found her guilty of the murder of her ex-lover’s wife at the same time.
The bodies of both victims were discovered in a car filled with exhaust fumes in Castlerock, County Derry, in 1991 as part of a plan aimed at fooling police into thinking that the murders were suicides.
