Killer 'played sport after double murders'

Double murderer Colin Howell went for a game of squash in the days after he killed his wife and his lover’s husband – and his mistress showed no emotion when told their bodies had been found, a court in the North heard today.

The reactions of the dentist and Hazel Stewart on hearing their respective spouses Lesley Howell and Trevor Buchanan had died in an apparent suicide pact were recounted by the wife of their church pastor on the third day of Stewart’s murder trial in Coleraine Crown Court.
