Larossi Abballa, 25, was well known to French police.

He was arrested in 2011 and sentenced in 2013 to two-and-a-half years in jail for recruiting jihadists to fight in Pakistan.
Witnesses said he shouted "allahu akbar" (God is great) as he launched his knife attacks on policeman Jean-Baptiste S. The victim's partner, fellow police official Jessica S, was later stabbed to death inside the couple's home.
The killer declared allegiance to jihadist group Islamic State in a long video posted on Facebook's live site. Pictures of his two victims were posted, according to David Thomson, a French specialist on militant Islam who saw the video before the account was suspended.
Chillingly, Mr Thomson said Abballa could he heard deciding what to do with the couple's son. The killer also refers to the European football championship currently taking place in France, declaring that "the Euros will be a graveyard".
On his computer, said police sources, was a list of figures Abballa wished to target, including two in the public eye.
Former anti-terror judge Marc Trevidic, who questioned Abballa after his 2011 arrest, said that he was one of a group of people. Two of the men had travelled to the Pakistani city of Lahore to meet a local al-Qaeda figure but were immediately arrested the moment they arrived at the airport.
At the time Abballa was a relatively minor figure, he told Le Figaro (in French). "He wanted to carry out jihad [holy war], for sure. He had been in training in France, not militarily but physically."
The leader of the eight-member group, an Indian national, was given eight years in jail and banned from French territory while six others were given lesser sentences. Abballa was jailed for three years, of which six months were suspended, with another two years of probation.
In an article from the time of his trial, Le Monde quotes him as describing himself as rudderless - and radicalised by the internet.
"I needed recognition, I didn't work and I had just failed to pass my CAP [professional qualification]. They started talking to me about religion, which I found comforting."
He went on to describe the "group effect".
"We talked only of jihad," he said. "It's like someone who lives 24 hours a day with thieves. Automatically, he too will become a thief!
"When I watched videos about the oppression of Muslims, they had such an effect on me...it was too moving. Then, it only needed a few words, and I was gone."
On release from prison he was placed on France's "S-list" of individuals seen as a danger to state security.
Abballa had reportedly been the subject of a recent anti-terrorist investigation into a Syrian jihadist group, including having his phone tapped, but that apparently did not yield sufficient evidence to merit his arrest.
A few months ago, he set up a night-time fast-food service called Dr Food which made deliveries between 22:30 and 05:00.
The delivery service featured on his Facebook page, which was suspended on Tuesday morning.
His last entry, at 05:03 (03:03 GMT) on Monday, featured a photo-montage including the Euro 2016 logo, a crucifixion and the Masonic emblem of a square and compasses, under a caption that read: "And some will say people see evil everywhere!"


The founder of a UK campaign to promote education for girls in Africa has been awarded a major international prize.

Ann Cotton, who launched the Campaign for Female Education (Camfed), has been named as the WISE Prize laureate at an education summit in Qatar.
The project has worked with more than three million children in five countries in sub-Saharan Africa.
The principle behind the charity is that educating girls is the key to tackling poverty and improving health.
Camfed International, which began in 1993, supports girls in rural communities in Ghana, Malawi, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
The campaign, based in Cambridge in the UK, provides bursaries to help girls stay in school, paying school fees or buying text books and uniforms.
It draws on research showing that investing in girls' education has substantial long-term benefits for the rest of the community.
Better-educated girls are likely to marry later and have healthier children and rates of HIV/Aids are likely to be lower.
Higher earnings are likely to be invested by women in their families.
But there are still tens of millions of girls without access to any education - and the greatest problems are in sub-Saharan Africa.
The millennium pledges made at the beginning of the century promised a primary school place for all children by 2015 - but the latest figures from the United Nations suggest that it will be another 70 years before this target is reached.
And it is girls in poor rural areas who are most likely to remain excluded from education.
Camfed has worked to support girls from primary school through to secondary school and college.
As well as working to support girls in school, the charity helps with training for teachers and health workers.
Ms Cotton has previously been awarded an OBE and was named the UK's Social Entrepreneur of the Year in 2004.
The annual WISE Prize was created by the Gulf state of Qatar as a kind of Nobel prize for education, recognising innovation and achievement for educational projects.
It is a prize funded by one of the world's wealthiest countries to support projects in some of the poorest.
Previous winners have included Sir Fazle Hasan Abed, founder of the BRAC school project which began providing education for poor families in Bangladesh in the 1970s and expanded to teach more than 120 million people in many of the world's most deprived countries.
Madhav Chavan won the prize for the Pratham charity, which brought affordable education to poor communities across India.
Last year, the prize was won by Vicky Colbert for her work with underprivileged families in Colombia.
Awarding the prize, Sheikha Moza bint Nasser, chair of the Qatar Foundation, said it provided an example of "what is possible".
The annual award was intended to "inspire millions more social entrepreneurs, advocates and education innovators who deliver solutions one child, one village, one town at a time," said Sheikha Moza.
Ms Cotton said that Camfed was committed to helping millions more girls through secondary education, who otherwise would be "robbed of confidence" and control over their own lives because of poverty and a lack of education.


David Oldfield and Dirk Heesen have left their respective roles of assistant manager and first-team coach at Queens Park Rangers.

The pair were part of the coaching set-up at Loftus Road under Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, who was sacked as manager on 5 November.
The R's reappointed Ian Holloway as boss on Friday and the 53-year-old is set to bring in his own backroom staff.
Performance consultant Chris Barnes has also left the Championship club.
"Ian has come in and as with any managerial appointment, they have their own ideas about how they see their staffing working out," Rangers director of football Les Ferdinand told the club website.
"Needless to say, he's keen to add to his backroom staff and we'll confirm any appointments as and when they're official."


John McDonnell looks set to use his first Labour conference speech as shadow chancellor to push for a "Robin Hood" tax on stock market trading.

Chancellor George Osborne has fought moves to introduce such a tax, warning it would harm the City.
The Labour Party has also been against a Financial Transaction Tax (FTT).
But Mr McDonnell believes it could rein in the excesses of the financial sector and help pay for improvements to the NHS and other public services.
He told a fringe meeting at the Labour conference in Brighton that he had reached an agreement with Shadow Business Secretary Angela Eagle to launch an "open" debate in Labour with a view to making a Financial Transaction Tax party policy.
He told the Unite meeting that his conference speech on Monday "won't be one of my normal rants" and "might be stultifyingly boring" because he would be setting out a series of "economic initiatives" Labour had planned.
He has long campaigned for a Financial Transaction Tax and revealed that he had a furious row with his predecessor as shadow chancellor, Ed Balls, when he tried to secure a Commons debate on the issue.
David Hillman, of the Robin Hood Tax campaign, which has gathered more than a million signatures on its petition, told the meeting there was nothing "dangerous or radical" about the idea, which he said had support from across the political spectrum in Europe.
The point of the tax, which would be levied on stock and foreign exchange trades, would be "to have the banks and hedge funds pay for, or at least contribute to paying for, the immense economic damage their gambling, essentially it was gambling, had caused," he said.
Mr McDonnell said he would use his speech to "demand" access to the financial models used by the Office for Budget Responsibility and the Bank of England to help Labour formulate an alternative economic policy and calculate the rate at which a Robin Hood tax could be set.
"I think that should be open to all parties in Parliament" to test their own ideas "in advance of getting into government," he added.
He will also announce a review of Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs to find out how it could beef up its efforts to collect the billions of pounds avoided by UK companies and individuals every year.
Mr McDonnell said he wanted to examine every aspect of HMRC, "its operations, effectiveness and also look at its range of policies and the instruments that it has available to it to ensure that we maximise our tax take and at the same time it's done on a fair and just basis".
During his Labour leadership campaign, Jeremy Corbyn claimed Â£120bn could be recovered from tax avoidance and evasion - enough to pay off the deficit without cutting welfare or public spending.
But critics, including the then shadow chancellor Chris Leslie, said it was not a plausible policy and would not work.


Daniel Johnson scored late on as Preston continued their improved form by inflicting a sixth Championship defeat in seven games on Bristol City.

Simon Makienok volleyed in Callum Robinson's cross from inside the area to give the visitors the lead.
Aaron Wilbraham then headed in an equaliser with 12 minutes to go.
But Johnson found the net with a tame shot from a difficult angle seven minutes later as North End claimed their second win in three games.
Having held firm with the hosts dominating the early stages, North End took the lead as Makienok latched onto Robinson's cross when unmarked in the box.
The visitors should have been 2-0 up by half-time as Robinson collected Makienok's knock-down before firing a shot against the crossbar.
Tammy Abraham hit the post for City in the second half and should have done better when he headed over after Wilbraham had equalised.
But Preston claimed all three points thanks to Johnson, who beat young goalkeeper Ivan Lucic at his near post as Simon Grayson's side extended their unbeaten run against City to seven games.
Bristol boss Lee Johnson:
"We have to work through this period. It feels like Groundhog Day.
"In the first 20 minutes some of the football we played was fantastic, then we give away a really, really poor goal. Bad positioning from our back four has meant we conceded without Preston needing to produce any real quality.
"After that players who were performing at eights and nines dipped to fives and sixes. Then we managed to get ourselves back into the game, but still couldn't see it out.
"Enough is enough and tweaks need to be made. We need a couple of signings in the January transfer window to help the group.
"It's never easy in January, but I know what I want. There is a lot right and a little bit wrong at the moment, but the latter is driving me insane."
Preston North End manager Simon Grayson:
"We have had a good week, with seven points from nine and two good away performances.
"Bristol City came out of the traps fast and we had to weather the storm. We were under the cosh, but we got through it and the first goal was always going to be important.
"It was a great ball in from Callum Robinson and an excellent finish by Simon Makienok. After that I felt we looked comfortable until they equalised.
"A lot of character was shown to win the game from then on. You have to defend well because Bristol City get balls into the box and have some big lads in there.
"Christmas always means a quick turnaround of games, but we go into it with momentum. We won't get ahead of ourselves and have some tough matches coming up, but we will enjoy the next few days."

A discovery of why birds' feathers do not go grey as they age could lead to a new generation of fade-proof paint and clothing, scientists say.

The Sheffield University team looked at how the colours are created in the blue-and-white feathers of the jay.
They found the colours come from the way the feathers are structured rather than from pigments, like in human hair.
Researchers believe the discovery could allow the creation of long-lasting coloured coatings.
The publication Nature Scientific Reports said the team studied feathers in the Natural History Museum's collection in London.
The research team found that instead of using dyes that would fade over time, the birds use well-controlled changes to the small cells to create their vividly coloured feathers, which are possibly used for jays to recognise one another.
The jay is able to pattern these different colours along an individual feather barb - the equivalent of having many different colours along a single human hair, said the scientists.
Andrew Parnell, from Sheffield University's department of physics and astronomy, said: "This discovery means that in the future, we could create long-lasting coloured coatings and materials synthetically.
"We have discovered it is the way in which it is formed and the control of this evolving nanostructure [small cells] - by adjusting the size and density of the holes in the sponge-like structure - that determines what colour is reflected.
"Current technology cannot make colour with this level of control and precision - we still use dyes and pigments.
"Now we've learnt how nature accomplishes it, we can start to develop new materials such as clothes or paints using these nano-structuring approaches.
"It would potentially mean that if we created a red jumper using this method, it would retain its colour and never fade in the wash."
In 2011, Sheffield scientists developed a material which mimics the rainbow effect of butterfly wings to help the fight against counterfeit money.


Football - or "socca" as the Japanese call it - was given a boost in the baseball-mad land of the rising Sun when the World Cup was held there in 2002.

More recently, women's football soared in popularity after the nation's female team won the World Cup in 2011 and Olympic Games silver in 2012.
Now rugby union is looking for a similar breakthrough into the national consciousness, when its World Cup is hosted by Japan in 2019.
With the Olympic Games being held in Tokyo a year afterwards, the end of the decade is shaping up to be a major sporting time for Japan.
"These two events coming together means the Japanese citizens' interest in sport has already gone up, and should increase rapidly nearer the events," Koji Tokumasu, general manager of the Japan 2019 Rugby World Cup Organising Committee, tells BBC News.
He was recently in the UK for his nation's friendlies against Scotland and Gloucester, where Japan played with tenacity but lost both matches.
Japan - known as the Cherry Blossoms or Brave Blossoms - are traditionally the strongest rugby union power in Asia.
But Mr Tokumasu says in Japan, where baseball is the most popular sport and football second, rugby union lags behind in about 10th spot.
"This is something we have to work on over the next six years," he says.
"We want to approach our existing fans - we do already have some rugby fans in Japan, and activate them to spread the World Cup message."
He says this hardcore fan-base can use digital media to publicise the rugby experience and the excitement surrounding the sport, including the thrill of match day.
They will also be able to explain the intricacies of the sport, including the scoring system.
"We want to raise interest and passion in the sport by bringing quality teams like New Zealand to our fans, who can then pass on the message to their family, friends and colleagues," says Mr Tokumasu.
When Japan hosted world champions the All Blacks earlier in November, the 25,000 tickets were sold out after half an hour. The host nation, not surprisingly, lost that encounter, but there has been playing success this year.
Japan won this year's HSBC Asian Five Nations tournament, and also beat a Wales second string team in the summer. That victory was their first win over a major rugby nation in eight decades of trying.
To show it was no fluke, they have also beaten the US and Canada this year.  In addition, this month Japan beat Russia, thrashed Spain, and also won the 2013 HSBC Asian Rugby Sevens.
The first stage of 2019 preparation is already under way, with the release of the criteria for would-be World Cup host cities and stadiums.
Organisers want to select between 10 and 12 match venues before March 2015, for the 48-game tournament.
"The reason we have chosen that date is because we want the successful host venues to then be able to attend that year's World Cup in England to see and experience how the event is staged," says Mr Tokumasu.
"At present we are visiting cities and telling them how exciting hosting the 2019 World Cup can be for them."
In Tokyo, a showpiece 80,000-capacity Olympic Stadium is being built in time for the 2019 rugby event, and in other match venue centres local government will pay for stadiums.
In many cities stadiums have remained underused since the 2002 World Cup. Mr Tokumasu says: "We would like it if we could use some of the those stadiums, but we cannot force those cities to take part - they have to express an interest."
As well as increasing awareness, another major pre-2019 aim is to increase playing participation.
"This is a major aim, and our government supports this, they think that sport is good for health," he says.
"We are going to take rugby into primary schools, first going into 5,000 schools, and by 2019 hoping to have spread the word in all 22,000 primary schools.
"Boys and girls can learn together and we will be introducing tag [touch] rugby, so that teachers won't be worried about children getting hurt.  So by 2019 a lot of young people will know all about rugby."
That work among the young should widen the base of the next generation of rugby players in a country where 95% of participants are university graduates.
Rugby playing is also very intertwined at present with the top end of the corporate workplace,
In the premier domestic competition, the Top League, the clubs are owned by large Japanese corporations such as Toshiba or Panasonic, and when a player's career comes to an end, they then usually take up a management role with the parent company.
The government also wants to see people taking part as event volunteers, following a successful programme at the 2002 global football event, and ahead of Tokyo 2020.
But he stresses again that the 2019 organisers want to bring rugby to a wider audience.
"In Japan people tend to stay at home to watch the very best of global or national sports on TV or the internet, rather than actually attending live events - we want to overcome this and attract people to rugby games," he says.
"We are going to produce more opportunities for people to attend a match - we really want to make the best use of the next six years "


Exeter City manager Paul Tisdale has confirmed growing transfer interest in two of his young stars.

Twenty-one-year-old striker Ollie Watkins and midfielder Ethan Ampadu, 16, have been linked with bigger clubs.
Watkins signed in July 2013 and has scored 30 goals in 55 appearances, whilst Ampadu was named Wales Young Player of the Year in November.
Tisdale told BBC Radio Devon: "I want to keep this team together for the season. Nobody is in a rush to sell."
He continued: "There's plenty of interest and enquiries but this is the best group of players I have had in a long time.
"The club is in a healthy place and doesn't need the money. It's a good quality problem to have."


A divided sculpture of a fish has been installed in Pwllheli, inspired by the town's sea-faring and fishing traditions.

The stainless steel fish, surrounded by textured concrete, seems to dive under the Gwynedd town's main thoroughfare.
Artist Benjamin Storch, who created it, held workshops with local young people to produce the winning design.
Regeneration scheme Pwllheli Partnership said it hoped it will "improve the aesthetics of the area".
The eye-catching creation was being installed in Pwllheli town centre on Monday and is due to be completed on Tuesday.
The fish's tail disappears into the pavement near the Conservative Club, and its head emerges over the road by the Mitre pub.
The installation is a joint project by Gwynedd Council's Community Arts Unit and South Pwllheli Communities First, funded by the council's Responding to the Recession fund.
Young people from the Cynllun Ieuenctid Pwllheli (CIP) scheme and students from Coleg Meirion Dwyfor created a number of designs.
The public were asked to comment on them before the final plan for the sculpture was decided.
Coun Roy Owen, Gwynedd's portfolio leader with responsibility for community arts, said the project aimed to "give local people the opportunity to be creative and to contribute towards the work of reviving and regenerating Pwllheli town centre".
"I am delighted that so many people have been able to take part," he said.
Stephen Tudor from the Pwllheli Partnership said there has been a number of projects in Pwllheli recently to enhance and regenerate the centre.
"This project is welcomed as part of this effort," he said.


Belfast Harbour has submitted a planning application for what would be a third major waterfront office block.

City Quays 3 has a proposed cost of £46m and will be 16-storeys tall.
With a target completion date of late 2019, it will provide Grade A space for 3,000 staff.
The harbour said it will support 600 jobs during its construction phase.
It will be situated beside a hotel, which is currently being built, and two other office developments.
Graeme Johnston, the harbour's property director, said the move "is a reflection of how strong the demand for quality office space in Belfast is".
He added that at 250,000 sq ft, City Quays 3 will be one of the largest office developments in Northern Ireland.
City Quays 1 is home to, among others, US law firm Baker & McKenzie, while City Quays 2 is nearing completion.


A "major incident" in which more than 50 prisoners took over a wing at a jail in the north east of England has reportedly come to an end.

Trouble broke out at HMP Northumberland in Acklington just after 19:30 GMT on Friday when inmates at the category C jail refused to go back to their cells.
The Prison Officers Association's General Secretary Steve Gillan said there was a "stand-off" at the prison.
There have been no reports of any injuries during the disturbance.
A spokesman for the prison's operator, Sodexo, said: "We can confirm there was a disturbance at HMP Northumberland.
"It was confined to part of one wing of the prison and has been resolved."
"We will carry out an investigation into this incident."
Mr Gillan told the BBC that prison officer Tornado teams, trained to deal with riots, were put on standby on Friday night in case the situation "got out of hand".
"We do not know what has sparked this major incident, but I do know that 50 plus inmates have taken over a wing," he said, describing the incident as "concerted indiscipline".
HMP Northumberland was taken over by Sodexo last year.
The firm has a 15-year contract and claimed it would save the taxpayer Â£129m.
Last year, talks began on plans to cut 200 jobs at the prison, which houses over 1,300 inmates.
The jail was formed by the merger of Castington and Acklington jails in 2011, but the prison building was built 40 years ago.
It is a Category C jail for inmates including vulnerable sex offenders.


A cancer charity is giving £16m to help Scottish scientists develop new treatments for the disease.

Cancer Research UK has promised £8m to its Edinburgh centre where researchers are focusing on brain tumours.
Another £8m will go to its Glasgow centre which is a world leader in pancreatic cancer research.
Much of the funding will go towards training the next generation of researchers, including 30 PhD students across both cities
The Cancer Research UK Edinburgh Centre is a partnership between the charity, the University of Edinburgh and NHS Lothian.
Prof Margaret Frame, science director at the Edinburgh centre, said: "From research into how brain tumours develop and grow, to identifying genetic and environmental markers that could help diagnose bowel cancer sooner, Edinburgh is home to world-class cancer research.
"This award represents a critical investment in the research infrastructure at Edinburgh, equipping us with the key laboratory and clinical tools needed to advance the understanding and treatment of cancer for the benefit of people in Scotland and beyond."
The Cancer Research UK Glasgow Centre is a partnership between the charity, the Cancer Research UK Beatson Institute, NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde, and the Universities of Glasgow and Strathclyde.
Prof Owen Sansom, interim director at the Beatson Institute, said: "This investment is fantastic news for cancer research in Glasgow.
"The city is home to a thriving community of world-class cancer scientists and doctors, who are working to reduce the devastating impact of this disease, not only locally, but around the world.
"This award means we will be able to further develop our work in translational research - getting cutting-edge discoveries from the laboratory to patients and learning as much as possible from patients to initiate new research."
The grants are part of £190m committed to 13 Cancer Research UK centres over the next five years.


The SNP has held a seat on Fife Council after a by-election.

The vote in the Leven, Kennoway and Largo ward was triggered after Councillor Alistair Hunter resigned to emigrate to Australia.
The SNP held the seat in the fifth round of counting under the single transferrable vote system, with Alistair Suttie winning 1,501 first-preference votes.
Labour finished second, with the Conservatives third. Turnout was 27.6%.


Even before she got behind her desk in Whitehall, Amber Rudd, the new energy secretary, was promising to "unleash a new solar revolution".

A million people now live in homes with solar panels on the roof, and she says that number needs to increase further.
Yet the residents of one small town in Cornwall need no extra persuasion.
Around 500 houses in Wadebridge on the Camel estuary already have panels on their roofs - nearly 10% of homes in the area - making the town a contender for the solar power 'capital' of the UK.
"It is fairly likely from the information we've been able to gather that Wadebridge has the highest concentration of panels in the country," says Jerry Clark, of the town's Renewable Energy Network.
Cornwall, with 1,541 sunshine hours every year, is particularly rich in this resource.
But people living anywhere in the UK can also benefit.
Providing you are prepared to invest at least £5,000 - and wait for a decade to get your money back - the eventual savings could be considerable.
Steve Kessell, who runs a bed and breakfast in Wadebridge, installed solar panels three years ago.
His savings, taking into account the subsidy he gets for generating electricity, and the lower bill from his energy supplier, amount to £1,800 a year.
He expects to break even on his installation costs within six years.
While that figure is typical for Cornwall, anyone living on the same line of latitude as London can expect to break even in 10 years - and farther north on the latitude of Stirling in Scotland in 12 years.
"I'm quite delighted I've got the panels," he says. "And quite often I wonder whether this business would have been profitable, or as profitable, without them."
Since there is, as yet, no way of storing the power he generates, Steve tries to use as much energy as he can during the day. You can save more by cooking, washing and ironing during daylight hours. But the system still works when it's cloudy.
"At times, it will even generate when there's a full moon - even though it's just a trickle," he says.
Solar panels don't usually need planning permission, unless you live in a conservation area.
But there are some key practical considerations.
Your roof shouldn't have any shading, either from trees, nearby buildings or chimneys.
The angle of the roof should be between 10 and 40 degrees from horizontal, and it should face south or south-west. Up to 40 degrees west of south, or 30 degrees east of south, is ideal.
"They also work better when they're not so hot," advises Merlin Hyman, the chief executive of Regen SW, which supports renewable energy in the West country.
"So a sea breeze is good."
You will get a higher subsidy if your home is already energy efficient - rating at least a Band D on its Energy Proficiency Certificate (EPC).
At the moment, solar power only makes economic sense thanks to public subsidies - which we pay through the green levy on our electricity bills.
Houses produce 55% of the UK's  CO2 emissions, so the subsidy is designed to help meet climate change targets.
It means the government pays you to produce renewable energy, whether you actually use it or not.
This is the so-called Feed in Tariff (FiT).
The first element is the generation FiT - the amount you are paid for the electricity you generate.
The rate of this is gradually reducing, and will next go down on 1 July. You will then be paid at this rate - plus inflation - for 20 years.

In compensation for falling FiT rates, the cost of installing solar panels is going down too.
Three years ago Steve Kessell paid £10,000. Now the same system can be installed for between £5,000-8,000.
The second element of the FiT is the export rate. This covers the energy you don't use yourself, but instead return to the grid. But it is lower than the generation element.
Hence it is more economical to use as much of your own energy as you can, rather than exporting it.
"The more you use in your home, the more you're going to make savings," says James Wakelin of the Energy Saving Trust (EST).
"Pensioners, or those who work at home, will save a lot more than those who work out of the house from nine to five."
Given the time it takes to get your money back, investing in solar energy is still a bold decision.

Two people have been arrested in connection with the death of a man in Boston.

The man's body was found by police at an address in Porcher Way shortly after 16:00 BST on Friday.
Lincolnshire Police said it was treating the death as unexplained and was investigating the circumstances of how the man died.
The force added it could not comment further on the arrests nor give details of the victim "at this stage".


Gambling on football was worth a record £1.4bn to bookmakers in a year, the most recent industry figures show.

Bookmakers also made record profits of £333.4m from football bets, according to Gambling Commission data for October 2015 to September 2016.
Football's relationship with gambling has come under recent scrutiny, with midfielder Joey Barton criticising the FA's "dependence on betting companies".
The FA has said it is "considering" its relationship with gambling firms.
In early May, chairman Greg Clarke said the Football Association's long-term deal with betting firm Ladbrokes, as well as commercial agreements with the alcoholic drinks companies Carling, Budweiser and Carlsberg, would come under review.
The FA board is expected to make a decision on whether its policies or behaviours should change this summer.
Barton, 34, was released by Burnley at the end of the Premier League season. In April he was given an 18-month ban for breaching betting rules.
Since 2014, players and coaches across England's top eight divisions have been banned from betting on any worldwide footballing activity.
In its written reasons explaining the decision to punish Barton, the FA acknowledged his "difficulties [were] compounded by the fact betting is 'everywhere' in sport".
Ten of the current 20 Premier League clubs carry shirt sponsorship from gambling companies, while adverts feature conspicuously on TV and radio.
Reacting to Barton's ban in April, former Stoke winger Matthew Etherington, who lost £1.5m at the height of his gambling addiction, told BBC Radio 5 live the industry should be better "regulated".
"It's very hard and complex, but everyone needs to take a little bit more responsibility - the PFA [Professional Footballers' Association], the players, the FA and the gambling organisations themselves," the 35-year-old said.


The race to be crowned champions of Spain will be decided on Sunday when Real Madrid and Barcelona play their final La Liga games of the season.

Leaders Real are favourites to end their five-year wait for the title, thus stopping Barcelona from winning it for the third time in a row.
In Italy, Juventus can win Serie A for a record sixth successive campaign on Sunday.
BBC Sport looks at what can happen on a big day in two of Europe's biggest leagues.
Jose Mourinho was in charge of Real Madrid the last time they were crowned domestic champions in 2012.
Since then Barcelona have dominated La Liga, winning it three times in the last four attempts, while Atletico Madrid were crowned champions in 2014.
Yet Real fans will be celebrating if they avoid defeat away to mid-table Malaga, whose boss is six-time Real Madrid title winner Michel, on Sunday (19:00 BST).
Zinedine Zidane's side are three points ahead of nearest rivals Barcelona, who are at home to eighth-placed Eibar at the same time, after winning their game in hand 4-1 away to Celta Vigo in midweek.
It is Real's title to lose but Zidane, in his first full season in charge at the Bernabeu, is not celebrating just yet.
"The most difficult part is still to come even though we're getting closer [to the title] every day," he said.
"I don't feel like we're the champions yet, we still need to pick up more points and keep on with what we're doing."
Sunday marks Luis Enrique's last La Liga game in charge of Barca after three seasons, two domestic titles and one Champions League triumph.
There is one result that gives the Barca boss hope of their title rivals slipping up... their own defeat at Malaga on 8 April.
Neymar was sent off as a 2-0 defeat hampered Enrique's hopes of leaving the Nou Camp with another league title on his CV.
There are two games to go in Italy but the maths are simple: If Juventus win at home to relegation-threatened Crotone on Sunday (14:00 BST) the title is staying in Turin.
Massimiliano Allegri's side recovered from last week's 3-1 defeat at nearest rivals Roma to win the Coppa Italia with a 2-0 victory over Lazio in midweek.
"We've won the first title, now we want to clinch the second - Sunday against Crotone, who have taken 17 points from the last seven matches," said Allegri.
"It's going to be a difficult match. We'll have to play a mean game."
If Juve, who face Real Madrid in the Champions League final in Cardiff on 3 June, fail to beat Crotone, then Roma and Napoli still have a chance to win the Scudetto on the final weekend.
Second-placed Roma closed the gap to one point after a thrilling 5-3 win at Chievo, while third-placed Napoli are a point further behind following a 4-1 home win against Fiorentina later on Saturday.
Mid-table Chievo led twice in the first half, but goals from Stephan El Shaarawy and Mohamed Salah evened it up for Roma at the break.
El Shaarawy put the Giallorossi ahead for the first time after 58 minutes before Salah and Edin Dzeko, who scored his 28th league goal of the season, put them in control.
Napoli, who are already assured of Champions League qualification, kept themselves in the hunt after goals from Kalidou Koulibaly, Lorenzo Insigne and Dries Mertens, who scored twice.


The boss of two care homes said he was unaware vulnerable residents were being locked in so-called punishment rooms.

Bristol Crown Court heard that Vielstone and Gatooma homes in Devon had a room where residents were left alone, often without food and water.
Paul Hewitt, 70, denies charges of conspiracy to detain and falsely imprison residents.
Mr Hewitt also said he was unaware that residents missed meals and he would have "made sure" they were fed.
The court heard that a woman resident said she had been tied up in the room at Gatooma in Holsworthy
Mr Hewitt, from Teignmouth, said he would not approve of this, telling the court: "Absolutely not. Mechanical restraint was a no no."
He also denied stopping residents making home visits as a punishment.
Mr Hewitt said he purchased Gatooma in 2004 for residents with behavioural issues.
"It was about giving them a better quality of life," he said.
"They had been in hospital or locked units. We wanted them to be free to be part of a community set up and be free to go to the shops or the pub."
Mr Hewitt, founder of Atlas Project Team Ltd, ran the two care homes for adults with learning disabilities.
He sold the business in 2006 but continued to be in charge, the court heard.
Mr Hewitt and employees Lee Farrant, 30, James Lawson, 41, Julie Barlow, 51, and Aaron Jones, 33, all from Devon, deny a series of charges against seven residents at Vielstone near Bideford and Gatooma in Holsworthy between 2010 and 2011.
Mr Lawson denies eight charges of false imprisonment, Mr Farrant six charges of false imprisonment and Mr Jones and Ms Barlow three charges each of false imprisonment.
The trial continues.

Police in the Pakistani city of Lahore have arrested a woman suspected of murdering her daughter for marrying without family consent.

Police say the body of Zeenat Rafiq shows signs of torture. She was doused with fuel and set alight.
Her mother Parveen is accused of luring her back from her in-laws.
It is the third such case in a month in Pakistan, where attacks on women who go against conservative rules on love and marriage are common.
Last week a young school teacher, Maria Sadaqat, was set on fire in Murree near Islamabad for refusing a marriage proposal. She died of her injuries.
A month earlier village elders near Abbottabad ordered the murder of a teenage girl who was burnt to death because she helped a friend to elope, police said.
Zeenat Rafiq, who was 18, had been burnt and there were signs of torture and strangulation, police told BBC Urdu. A post mortem examination may establish if she was still alive when she was set on fire.
Police Superintendent Ibadat Nisar said officers were looking for her brother who is "on the run". Her mother was found in the house with the body.
"Her mother has confessed to the crime but we find it hard to believe that a 50-year-old woman committed this act all by herself with no help from the family members," he said.
Neighbours contacted authorities after hearing screaming, but Ms Rafiq was already dead by the time police arrived, BBC reporter Saba Eitizaz says.
Ms Rafiq and her husband, Hassan Khan, married a week ago through the courts after eloping. They went to live with his family.
"When she told her parents about us, they beat her so severely she was bleeding from her mouth and nose," Mr Khan told BBC Urdu.
"Her family lured her back, promising reconciliation and a proper wedding reception. She was afraid, she said 'they are not going to spare me'. She didn't want to go but my family convinced her. How were we to know they would kill her like this?"
Nearly 1,100 women were killed by relatives in Pakistan last year in so-called honour-killings, the independent Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) says. Many more cases go unreported.
Violence against women by those outside the family is also common.
Najam U Din, a joint director of the HRCP, said that societal attitudes had not changed in line with greater education and freedom for young women.
"So when women become more assertive, more reluctant to be content with submissive survival within the family - for example when they insist on studying further, or when they want to take independent decisions about themselves - then the society does not allow it."
Punjab province, where the two latest attacks happened, passed a landmark law in February criminalising all forms of violence against women.
However, more than 30 religious groups, including all the mainstream Islamic political parties, threatened to launch protests if the law was not repealed.
The Council of Islamic Ideology, which advises the government, then proposed making it legal for husbands to "lightly beat" their wives. It was criticised as a result.
Religious groups have equated women's rights campaigns with promotion of obscenity. They say the new Punjab law will increase the divorce rate and destroy the country's traditional family system.


Scotland Yard has apologised to the family of a police informant for "shortcomings" in the original investigation into his death.

Kester David, 53, from Wood Green, was found badly burned under a bridge in Palmers Green in 2010.
Police made a fresh appeal for information about his death last year.
On Monday the police said they had closed the reinvestigation and that the Met commissioner had met Mr David's family to apologise personally.
Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe said: "There were obviously some things that should have been done by those officers, which quite simply were not.
"It is also completely unacceptable that a grieving family were treated with such insensitivity."
His family have always maintained he was killed for working as a police informant and have claimed police failed to look at CCTV or speak to witnesses promptly.
The initial investigation by Scotland Yard into Mr Kester's death concluded he committed suicide.
A year later an internal investigation, led by inspector Brian Casson, found a "catalogue of errors" and a "failing in duty" as full CCTV and mobile phone records were not checked and witnesses were not interviewed.
Sir Bernard insisted that the reinvestigation, now closed by the Met, was "thorough and explored every single line of enquiry open to us".
Detectives concluded there was no evidence or information that a third party was involved in his death.
Despite a number of appeals during the reinvestigation made to local and national media and on BBC Crimewatch, no arrests were ever made in connection with his death.


Ten-man Inverness Caledonian Thistle fell four points adrift at the foot of the Scottish Premiership with defeat by St Johnstone.

Steven Maclean bundled home the opener five minutes before half-time.
The hosts, slacker after the break, had beleaguered striker Larnell Cole sent-off after he confronted the referee.
Liam Craig sealed the win from the penalty spot with two minutes to play, before Graham Cummins finished a sumptuous stoppage-time move.
And things got worse still for Caley Thistle after the match, with captain Gary Warren shown a red card in the tunnel.
Saints remain five points clear of Hearts in fourth place, and closed the gap on third-placed Rangers, who play Aberdeen on Sunday, to three points.
With game after game ticking past, Inverness' position looks increasingly perilous. Next weekend's trip to Motherwell, second-bottom on goal difference, is now seismic.
This contest turned nightmarish for the hosts after a bright opening, but the truth is, given their predicament, Caley Thistle did not threaten St Johnstone's goal enough.
Billy Mckay sent a shot over from close range. Alex Fisher nodded a diving header wide. Carl Tremarco miscued a volley.
Greg Tansey did draw a save from Alan Mannus when he rasped in an effort from outside the box, but Richie Foran's side never looked likely to find the net.
Their best opportunity came immediately after the Saints went ahead, when Tansey fed Cole, who seemed to panic in a terrific position and shot straight at Mannus.
Cole's dismissal ended the contest when he appeared to be cautioned twice for challenging referee Stephen Finnie's decision not to award a foul.
St Johnstone were merciless and could have had more.
With just one win from their last 21 league games, Inverness look deep in trouble.
Tommy Wright's side deserve so much credit. Saints were tactically brilliant, so strong defensively and ruthlessly capitalised on their man advantage.
They took one of their few first-half chances when Michael Coulson broke down the left and sent a dangerous ball across the six-yard box.
Owain Fon Williams could only parry into the danger area, Cummins' shot was blocked but Maclean followed up to force it home.
They should have had another when Craig's superb curling corner flew all the way to the back post where Cummins slid in and somehow knocked it over from two yards.
Craig, in his 300th appearance for the club, coolly converted a spot-kick after Cummins was tripped to seal the points.
Cummins then slammed home after Miller danced around the area to tee him up, before Craig cracked the bar amid the late flurry.
With a tendency to finish the season strongly, and just a three-point gap to Rangers, the Perth side look capable of something special this term.
Inverness CT manager Richie Foran: "It is a tough time of the season to be sitting bottom, and I need real men to stand up to that, but not enough of them did that today.
"It is pure luck we are still in it and it is only four points. I sound like a broken record but one win changes it - that is the truth. But I need braver players with more passion and desire. We controlled aspects of the game without having that ruthless edge to it. I don't think we believed today.
"The main person who is not good enough is me. I am obviously not doing my job right and big apologies to the supporters. I believe we let them down today.
Media playback is not supported on this device
"It is not good enough. I pick the team, I pick the shape, I will take 90% of the blame for that but the players need to stand up as well."
St Johnstone manager Tommy Wright: "We went in 1-0 at half-time without playing particularly well but looked a threat. We looked comfortable enough and then after the sending-off, we were ruthless. We scored two and maybe could have scored two or three more.
"The attitude to go and kick on and make sure we got that second goal, to make sure we weren't having any problems in the last few minutes, was excellent.
"It's been a week that didn't start so well that's ended absolutely magnificently for us. We enjoy defending. We don't panic when we're under pressure. We're a good side that can do both sides of the game.
"There's a better chance tonight (of finishing third) but we're not going to get carried away. We'll just keep working away. It keeps us five ahead of Hearts. It was an important result."

Darren McCormack headed home Liam Watt's delivery to put Brechin ahead just before the break.

City also had a man sent off with Craig Molloy red-carded for a foul on Gavin Swankie and Danny Denholm headed a late consolation for the hosts.


Angry rail passengers piled pressure on the boss of Southern's parent company at a "meet the managers" session at London Victoria.

Travellers have endured months of disruption on routes between London and the south coast and the company has cut more than 300 trains from its schedule.
Govia Thameslink CEO, Charles Horton, apologised to affected passengers and said they had been "very honest".
Some people tweeted they could not get to the event because of delayed trains.
Charity worker Rona Hunnisett, 40, who commutes from Brighton to London said that when she asked for "a definitive time" when services would improve, she received "waffle and more evasion".
"I'm sick of the constant excuses and blame," she said.
She said she felt "physically scared" for the first time in 20 years of commuting on Monday during severe congestion at Brighton station.
"I pay them Â£4,000 a year for a service and I don't get it," she said.
IT contractor Navneet Jha, who commutes from South Croydon, said he was told by a Southern manager that "all the problems will go in a month".
"I highly doubt that," he added.
Mr Horton said passengers reflected their frustration with the service and recounted some of their bad experiences at the event.
The delays, cancellations and reduced timetable have resulted from staff shortages and a dispute between Southern and the RMT union about plans for drivers, rather than guards, to open and close carriage doors.
Mr Horton is already under pressure from MPs and met the new rail minister Paul Maynard to discuss the issues on Monday.
Mr Maynard has said the current level of service is unacceptable and the government will consider brokering talks between the two sides.
Southern said discussions at the session were mainly about the current situation and the revised timetable.
"Our performance is better than before it [new timetable] was introduced and it's giving our passengers more certainty about their train service, enabling them to plan their journeys with more confidence," a spokesman said.


Madonna and her adopted twin daughters have accepted undisclosed damages from Associated Newspapers over a "serious invasion of privacy".

The singer adopted four-year-old twins Stella and Estere in February.
At the time she asked the media to "respect our privacy during this transitional time."
Madonna brought the case at London's High Court over a MailOnline article that caused her "considerable personal distress", her solicitor said.
The article - which appeared in January, before Madonna had formally adopted the twins - revealed the girls' names, race and age.
It also disclosed the fact they lived in an orphanage in Malawi and were the subject of pending applications for adoption by the singer.
"The MailOnline published it at a time when, as the journalist ought to have appreciated, Madonna would be powerless to protect the girls from harm," solicitor Jenny Afia told Mrs Justice Nicola Davies on Thursday.
"Their actions could, in her view, have threatened the integrity and/or outcome of the adoption process which would have had potentially life-changing implications for the girls, as well as for Madonna and her family."
"Many people in Malawi know of Madonna as an individual of fame and financial means," she went on.
"In the circumstances, Madonna believes that it would (and should) have been self-evident to the reporter that the protection of the girls' identities pending the decision about their potential adoption was likely to be vital for their safety and welfare."
After the hearing, Ms Afia said: "Madonna brought this litigation because the newspaper threatened her girls' safety by naming them before they were adopted.
"She will always take all possible steps to protect her family's well-being."
Ms Afia added that Madonna would donate the damages to The Mercy James Institute for Paediatric Surgery.
The children's hospital in Malawi opened earlier this month and is named after one of the singer's other adopted daughters.
"She is pleased that at least some good can come out of the situation," Ms Afia said.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) has added its support to countries which place a "sugar tax" on soft drinks.

A new report from the body found that raising prices by 20% or more results in lower consumption and "improved nutrition".
The global health group has previously advised a lower sugar intake, but stopped short of backing tax measures.
Several countries, including Mexico and Hungary, already tax added sugar products.
South Africa is introducing a sugar tax next year. It's the only country in Africa to do so.
The WHO said it wants to see lower consumption of "free sugars", which it said will lower incidences of obesity, diabetes and tooth decay.
"Free sugars" are all the different types of sugar in the diet, except for the sugars that are found naturally in fruit and milk.
The WHO's nutrition director, Dr Francesco Branca, said "nutritionally, people don't need any sugar in their diet".
He recommended sugar intake be kept below 10% of a person's total calorie intake - and preferably below 5%.
However, the group said taxation or other financial measures should be used only on items "for which healthier alternatives are available".
Its findings are based on a meeting of global experts and a review of the available evidence.
The report also found that government subsidies for fruit and vegetables - which lower prices - can increase the amount people eat.
It also said that the same tax measures levied against sugary drinks appear to work with other sugary foods, as well as those high in saturated fats, trans fats, and salt.


Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri Maliki first came to power in 2006, at a time when sectarian violence was threatening to tear the country apart.

Mr Maliki resisted pressure from Washington to request an extension of US troop presence in the country, and presided over the formal end of the US military presence in Iraq.
However, despite his alliance narrowly winning the 2014 parliamentary election, he has struggled to contain a new tide of violence which has seen several cities slip from Iraqi government control, and has suffered shrinking support from Sunnis and Kurds.
He was also forced to defend himself from accusations that he has used the judiciary to silence and imprison political rivals.
In August 2014, after months of political infighting, new President Fuad Masum asked MP Haider al-Abadi to form a new government, despite Mr Maliki's protestations that the move was "unconstitutional".
Nouri Mohammed Hassan Maliki was born near the Iraqi town of Hilla in July 1950. He has a master's degree in Arabic literature and is married with four daughters and one son.
His grandfather, Mohammed Hassan Abul Mahasin, was a poet and rebel fighter who opposed the British occupation of Iraq in the 1920s.
He is widely seen as the inspiration for Mr Maliki's strong nationalist ideals and his decision to join the Shia Islamist Dawa (Call) party as a university student in Baghdad in the 1970s.
Despite Dawa's Islamist roots, Mr Maliki sought to position himself as a strong and unifying leader in post-Saddam Iraq after coming to power in 2006.
However, since the 2010 elections Mr Maliki has been accused of abandoning a consensus-building strategy in favour of concentrating power among his mostly Shia allies. He has also become more closely allied with Iran over issues such as the conflict in Syria.
Mr Maliki returned to Iraq from exile after the US-led invasion in 2003 that overthrew Saddam Hussein and Dawa soon emerged as a major political force - with Mr Maliki among its vanguard.
He served as a spokesman for the party as well as for the broader coalition of Shia parties, the United Iraqi Alliance (UIA), which won the most seats in legislative elections in December 2005. He was relatively unknown before being nominated for the post of prime minister in 2006.
Mr Maliki helped draft the country's new constitution and was a member of a committee, set up by the US, tasked with purging Iraq of its Baathist legacy.
The work of the committee attracted criticism for apparently extending its crackdown to officials that had been Baath Party members.
In 2007, Mr Maliki authorised a surge in US troop numbers that targeted al-Qaeda affiliated Sunni militants and led the 2008 campaign against Shia militias loyal to the radical cleric, Moqtada Sadr.
Under fire from his Shia allies and under pressure to reconcile with Iraq's Sunni community, he split from the UIA in early 2009 and formed the broader-based State of Law coalition.
The alliance campaigned on a platform of a unified Iraq in the March 2010 elections, but lost by a mere two seats to the mostly Sunni-backed al-Iraqiyya alliance of former Prime Minister Iyad Allawi.
In the months of deadlock that followed the poll, Mr Maliki was accused of turning to Tehran to help rebuild his power base and remain prime minister. The support of Moqtadr Sadr's bloc - reportedly the result of pressure from the Iranian government - was crucial.
After nine months of tortuous negotiations, Mr Maliki eventually formed a fragile government which included members of the al-Iraqiyya bloc.
However, the government quickly unravelled when, after the withdrawal of US troops, arrest warrants were issued for a senior member of al-Iraqiyya, Vice-President Tariq al-Hashemi.
Mr Hashemi, Iraq's most senior Sunni Arab politician, was accused of funding attacks on government and security officials during Iraq's bloody insurgency. He was sentenced to death in absentia in September 2012 but has since sought refuge in Turkey.
Mr Maliki denied that the charges against Mr Hashemi were politically motivated.
Since 2012, Mr Maliki has faced both popular protests and an increasingly violent insurgency, led by groups fighting for an "Islamic state" in the region.
He has struggled to confront new militant groups operating across the Syria-Iraq border.
One of the biggest groups, the Islamic State (formerly known as Isis), pushed Iraqi government forces out of several cities in the north and east of the country. Large parts of Anbar province had already been under the control of al-Qaeda-inspired militants for several months.
Mr Maliki has accused Saudi Arabia of being behind much of the unrest.
Many Iraqis accused Mr Maliki of nepotism and mismanagement of Iraq's vast oil wealth. Both of his sons-in-law worked for his office and his son Ahmed was head of his security. Many parts of Iraq have remained poor and undeveloped during his time in office.
Despite these difficulties, his State of Law coalition won the most votes in the last parliamentary elections in April 2014, and Mr Maliki made clear his desire to serve a third term as prime minister.
However, there followed months of political infighting as parliament refused to give him a third term and he lost the backing of the US.


Two women were raped at the 2016 Reading Festival, police say.

Thames Valley Police are investigating the separate attacks, which involved a 17-year-old and a 28-year-old.
A 22-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of rape by detectives investigating the attack on the older woman.
About 90,000 people attended the three-day festival. Police received 117 reports of crimes, a 20% drop on the previous year.


Audrey Hepburn was a Hollywood legend, a style icon and in her later years an ambassador for UNICEF.

Her two sons have lent rarely seen photographs of Audrey Hepburn, from their personal collection, for a new exhibition.
It opens this week at London's National Portrait Gallery, and explores the life and career of the celebrated star.
Her younger son, Luca Dotti took the BBC's Arts Editor, Will Gompertz, on a tour of his personal favourites.


A stained glass electric mandolin signed by Led Zeppelin's Robert Plant is to be auctioned for charity.

28 March 2016 Last updated at 12:46 BST
Shropshire filmmaker Andrew Bullas put together a documentary about the creation of the unusual instrument.
Mr Bullas, from Alveley, travelled to Orkney to watch local craftsman Dick Levens making it.
The mandolin took two years to finish and the film attracted the attention of rock legend Plant.
Mr Levens said: "He's such an iconic figure and to think he's had his hands on something I made in my shed, that is really an unbelievable set of circumstances."
The instrument will be auctioned to raise money for the Teenage Cancer Trust.


A children's author was "grossly deceived" by her alleged killer who began "love bombing" her to win her affections, a court has heard.

Ian Stewart, 56, denies murdering his fiancee Helen Bailey at their home in Royston, Hertfordshire, last April.
Her body was found in a cess pit three months after she was reported missing.
In his closing statement, prosecutor Stuart Trimmer QC said Mr Stewart's defence - that two violent kidnappers were responsible - was "quite absurd".
He told the jury at St Albans Crown Court that Ms Bailey, 51, was "absolutely besotted" with Mr Stewart, who is accused of murdering her in order to inherit her money.
"It is perfectly plain she was completely overwhelmed by what some people might call 'love bombing'," Mr Trimmer said.
The pair had met online following the deaths of Ms Bailey's husband John Sinfield in 2011, and Mr Stewart's wife in 2010.
"It is a matter of common sense and knowledge that someone shortly bereaved might not have the logical equipment to see she was being deceived," Mr Trimmer continued.
"And the Crown says she was being grossly deceived by someone who was preying on her."
But Mr Stewart's defence barrister Simon Russell Flint criticised the Crown's "highly speculative theories".
Mr Russell Flint, in his closing speech, said: "If you are not sure... any reasonable doubts on the evidence you must find Mr Stewart not guilty."
He told the jury it wasn't for Mr Stewart to prove anything. He said the burden of proof was on the prosecution.
Mr Russell Flint said: "What possible motive could he have?"
"What caused this mild mannered, loving family man... what made him suddenly decide to kill Helen Bailey?
"It makes no sense at all. It's complete nonsense. It's rubbish."
Mr Stewart claimed Ms Bailey had been snatched by two men who blackmailed him for Â£500,000, and had threatened him and his two sons.
He told the jury the men, called Nick and Joe, were business associates of Ms Bailey's late husband and were responsible for the killing and hiding her body under the garage of her home.
The court has also heard evidence from a number of witnesses who claim they saw Ms Bailey after the time she was allegedly murdered.
Mr Stewart, of Baldock Road, Royston, denies murder, preventing a lawful burial, fraud, and three counts of perverting the course of justice.
The trial continues.


Small businesses in the Black Country are being given access to a £1m council fund, in a bid to secure jobs.

The Dudley Business Loan Fund is aimed at businesses in the borough with fewer than 250 staff that have struggled to secure bank loans.
The scheme is a partnership between Dudley Council and the Black Country Reinvestment Society (BCRS).
Councillor Shaukat Ali said he believed it could play a "vital role" in stimulating the local economy.
He said there were some 9,000 businesses in the area that could be eligible.
The scheme, offering loans of £10,000 to £50,000, is open to small and medium-sized businesses with a turnover of less than £5m.
The scheme has been joint funded by the council and BCRS through a European grant.
Paul Kalinaucas, chief executive of the BCRS not-for-profit lender, said the fund would help Dudley "develop, grow and prosper".
Cradley Heath manufacturer Sealco benefited from a £50,000 BCRS loan in 2008 and said small sums could sometimes make a big difference.
Managing Director Rob Fowkes said: "In that year it helped us maintain staffing levels and got us through the very sticky parts that were 2008 and 2009."
Since 2009, the company has doubled its workforce and doubled its turnover to more than £2m.
Dudley Council said it expected the new loan scheme to create 30 jobs and secure 60 more.


UEFA has agreed to give more Euro 2016 tickets to Northern Ireland fans after complaints about the original allocation process, a Stormont committee has heard.

The chief executive of the Irish Football Association (IFA), Patrick Nelson, is giving evidence to the DCAL committee.
He said 93 more tickets will be allocated for the Germany game.
There will also be an extra 505 tickets for the Ukraine match.
This is on top of the extra 1,276 tickets announced last week for the Poland game. Some lifelong supporters missed out when UEFA allocated the tickets last week.
Mr Nelson said the IFA had been pressing for more tickets for Northern Ireland fans, and said the new tickets will be "a complete selection of categories", adding "some of them are going to be more expensive but some are going to be cheaper as well".
He also told the committee that the IFA had previously agreed a priority allocation system that meant "anyone with top priority - 17 points or more should have got a ticket," but there had been "quite a small, inadvertent error by UEFA" that meant people "well in excess of 17 points" did not get tickets.
He said once the problem had been noticed they contacted UEFA "at the highest level" and "within three hours agreed to supply enough tickets to address the immediate matter".
The IFA president Jim Shaw said the allocation process was by an automated computer system, adding: "In a different world, we would have been allocating tickets from top to bottom probably ourselves and would have had total control.
"We've made a good recovery, I think, but they (UEFA) will insist on all ticketing coming from that system."
Last Wednesday, the IFA announced a portal would be created for Northern Ireland supporters to apply for extra tickets.
The portal, for the match against Poland, is open to supporters on a priority list who were were informed they had missed out on Tuesday.
The Department of Culture, Leisure and Arts (DCAL) committee hearing is available to watch on Stormont Live here.


Paralympic cycling champion Dame Sarah Storey wants more women's races in the UK to take place on closed roads and is "not prepared to risk my life" racing alongside traffic on open roads.

Media playback is not supported on this device
Many women's races take place on open roads, with marshals marking the front and back of the field.
Storey told BBC Sport: "You have to keep your wits about you.
"You should be on closed roads. That's one of the things I'd like to see change for women in the UK."
Know someone who volunteers in sport and deserves recognition for their efforts? Give them the chance to shine by nominating them.
She added: "For me I've sort of moved away from racing some of the UK races because they aren't on closed roads and I'm not prepared to risk my life.
"You know we have a racing code of how to stay safe, but then ultimately, you should be racing on closed roads."
In addition to improving safety, Storey said racing on closed roads with camera bikes would help to develop the profile of women's cycling.
"Then we get the opportunity to build the event into something bigger and be able to get more than just static cameras," added the 38-year-old.
"It's a really frustrating time. Although it's fairly even on the track, when you get to the road, there's massive disparity between the men and women.
"The majority of women's racing you just have to follow on Twitter, and that's even true at World Tour level, it's very restricted."
Storey, 38, narrowly missed out on selection for Great Britain's Olympic team pursuit trio for London 2012, and won the national road race series the same year.
She said racing on open roads does not prepare riders for the realities of a professional career, citing "bigger security, motorbikes, that sort of thing".


Residents of an entire street are facing a council tax rise because one of their neighbours complained of paying more than everyone else.

But instead of the complainant's tax being lowered, valuation officers have raised everyone else's tax on the street by Â£160 a year.
Homes on Lynton Avenue in Hull have been moved from Band A into Band B.
The government's Valuation Office Agency (VOA) said the tax banding had been reviewed following a complaint.
Residents told the Hull Daily Mail the increase was because one unidentified neighbour complained to the VOA that her rates were too high.
A resident, who wanted to remain anonymous, said: "All the houses on the street are identical, so we should all be paying the same rate.
"One person on the street was paying a higher rate than everyone else so questioned it with the government and I think they've been a bit cynical.
"Instead of admitting that this person has been overpaying all these years and giving them a refund, they have decided to put everyone else up.
"It's just so typical, if you ask me."
Letters were sent out to each house by the VOA, telling the occupants the homes would be evaluated recently, but rates were raised without further notice.
Council tax bands in England run from A to H, with A being the cheapest, and are calculated according to what the value of the property would have been in April 1991.
Accounts manager Kerry Wilson, 45, who has lived on Lynton Avenue for 16 years, said she and her neighbours would be appealing against the decision.
She said: "We have been in Band A as long as we've lived here.
"The move to band B means our houses would have been valued at more than Â£40,000 in 1991, but there is no way that can be true.
"My husband has found all the house prices from that time and none of them were more than that.
"It's caused a right rumpus and we're making sure everyone in the street will send their letter of appeal in."
Pat Garrett, a 72-year-old who has lived on the street for almost 40 years, said: "As a pensioner, my monthly in-comings aren't going up any time soon and I'll definitely feel the pinch.
"The amount doesn't sound like much, but it makes a big difference when you consider everything else is going up in price too."
A spokesman for the VOA said bands could change as a result of one person expressing concerns about the amount they were paying.
He said: "If a taxpayer contacts us with concerns about their council tax banding, we will review it free of charge.
"We might need to review the bands of similar neighbouring properties to ensure they are correct, which can lead to other properties' bands being changed.
"We alter council tax bands only if evidence indicates they are incorrect, or there has been a physical change to a property or its locality."
Hull City Council offered no comment on the row and pointed out it acted on the Valuation Office Agency's instructions.


League One Leyton Orient have signed Derby County goalkeeper Adam Legzdins on a free transfer.

The 27-year-old has been with the Rams for three years, but did not feature for the Championship side last season.
Legzdins, who began his career as a trainee at Birmingham and has had spells at Crewe and Burton, has signed a two-year deal with the O's.
Orient boss Russell Slade had been looking for a senior keeper after Jamie Jones joined Preston last week.
Legzdins made 37 appearances in total during his three-year spell with Derby, but is now hoping to establish himself in east London.
"I spoke to the manager and the goalkeeper coach and it became very clear the ambition of the club is to build on last year," Legzdins told the club website.
"It was important for me to join a team where I would play and I wanted one that would be challenging at the right end of the table
"Last year was disappointing for me for various reasons and I played fewer games than I'd hoped but the year before I played 33 games in the Championship.
"That's my ambition; to play games. I don't want to be number two goalkeeper."


US investment bank Morgan Stanley saw stronger-than-expected fourth-quarter profits, boosted by a jump in financial trading after Donald Trump's election.

The bank reported a $1.67bn profit for the period, compared with a $908m profit a year ago.
Fixed-income sales and trading revenue for the quarter hit $1.5bn, almost three times the $550m achieved in the final three months of 2015.
The bank's figures were in line with those reported by competitors.
US banks benefited from a market rally in the wake of the November presidential election, beating Wall Street forecasts.
Morgan Stanley shares have risen 61% in value over the past year.


BBC Two controller Kim Shillinglaw has played down suggestions that new host Chris Evans will be joined by a female co-presenter on Top Gear.

On Wednesday, Evans told BBC Radio 5 live that the "on-camera" Top Gear team would "definitely" include a woman.
However later in the day, Shillinglaw said there would be "no gender diktats" with regards to the presenting line-up.
She said female presenters would be considered, but the decision "will be about what's right for the show."
"It has always been a very male world hasn't it?" Shillinglaw told Steve Hewlett on BBC Radio 4's The Media Show.
"I think it's a part of thinking about how we could do things differently, to get a lot more spontaneity in to the show."
"I really care about women on television. I really care how that sits in terms of the channel mix as a whole on BBC Two," she said
But added: "I have never in my life thought about an individual show in terms of gender diktats and I certainly wouldn't start doing that now."
Like Shillinglaw, Evans has insisted that any female addition to the show would be chosen "not for the sake of it".
Asked by Steve Hewlett, on Radio 4's The Media Show, whether there would be a female on the Top Gear team, Evans said: "I think there has to be."
"There are some fantastic girls in and around the motoring world - it would be silly not for them to be represented."
He further clarified his comments on his Radio 2 breakfast show on Thursday.
"It was quoted in the papers, and it has been again this morning, that I said yesterday there would definitely be a female co-presenter," said Evans.
"There'll definitely be a female presence on the show and that could well be a co-presenter. It could be two. It could be no co-presenters, and film reporter or a driver..."
Evans has announced open auditions for his Top Gear co-hosts, saying anyone from around the world with "a real appetite for cars" was welcome to apply, whether they were "famous people" or not.
"If you're up for it, we want to hear from you," said the Radio 2 DJ, "but you've got to know about cars".
Evans said the hosts could be "male, female, young or old, it doesn't matter" and suggested the three-host format would not necessarily return.
On Thursday's radio show, Evans gave details of the audition process, which invites applicants to post a video on an as-yet-to-be-revealed website, from Friday, 19 June.
The videos must meet the following criteria.
•             Applicants must be over 16.
•             They should talk direct to camera.
•             Videos should be shot "from the waist up".
•             Cars should not feature in the video.
•             No stunts.
•             No gimmicks.
•             Entrants must be knowledgeable about cars "because Top Gear has to have an authenticity".
•             The video must be no longer than 30 seconds. "If it is, we won't watch it."
Classic Car Show host Jodie Kidd and Formula One presenter Suzi Perry have both been tipped for presenting roles alongside Evans - effectively replacing co-hosts James May and Richard Hammond.
The original line-up quit the show after Jeremy Clarkson was sacked for punching a Top Gear producer in March.
Speaking on the Media Show, Shillinglaw confirmed that May and Hammond had considered returning to the show, but turned down the BBC's offer last week.
"In the end a deal was offered to them and they felt that deal wasn't quite right for them. You know what, that's absolutely their choice," said the BBC2 controller.
She said the offer was made to Evans when those discussions came to an end.
"The important thing was there weren't multiple conversations going on at any one time. We felt we wanted to do this right and do this respectfully.
"Everyone as far as I am aware has conducted themselves with real grace and thoughtfulness."
Evans, who has signed a three-year deal to host and produce the BBC Two show, will also continue with his Breakfast Show slot on BBC Radio 2, and is reported to be earning £5m from the Top Gear deal.
"Chris... has a brilliant quality for generating surprise on television. I think that's something that a show like Top Gear needs," said Shillinglaw.
"Having had an awful lots of ups and down in this career, I think that he wants to work with us to make sure that the surprise ends up on screen, and is to the benefit of the show and to the benefit of the viewers," said Shillinglaw.
Top Gear is watched by 350 million viewers worldwide, with overseas sales worth an estimated £50m a year.


A retired vicar has appeared in court to face two new charges of indecently assaulting a girl under the age of 13.

Graham Gregory, 81, of Brockfield Park Drive, York, is accused of two offences between 15 July 1975 and 15 July 1977.
Mr Gregory, who also faces two similar charges, did not enter a plea when he appeared at Douglas courthouse on Thursday.
All the offences are alleged to have taken place on the Isle of Man. He was bailed until 27 April.
In February, the retired vicar appeared in court accused of two separate indecent assaults.
One relates to an alleged attack on a girl under the age of 13 in 1990, the second, against a female between 1 January 1987 and 31 December 1988.


A school shut by council bosses days after a staff strike over workloads is to have a "phased" reopening.

Trafford Council closed Bollin Primary School in Bowdon, Greater Manchester on Monday after concerns about a "reduced capacity of senior leadership".
The council said the school had appointed an interim head teacher and it would reopen for Key Stage 2 pupils on Thursday.
Other classes will return in the next few days, said the council.
It follows a strike by teachers on Thursday, supported by some parents who demonstrated outside school.
The school has appointed Kylie Spark as interim head teacher while Michelle Brindle was "not in school", the council said.
There are no details about how long Mrs Spark, of Sale's Tyntesfield Primary School, will be in post.
A number of staff have been neutrally suspended while investigations continue into a video purporting to show teaching staff at a party making comments about Ms Brindle.
Trafford Council added it has applied to the Department for Education for approval for an interim executive board consisting of experienced governors.
One parent of a pupil at the school, which was rated as "outstanding" in its last Ofsted inspection, said she was worried many of the teachers will not return.
Julie Saunders said: "That is massively disruptive and upsetting for the children.
"It is not just a building with a few supply teachers; a school is a community which knows and understands the kids."
Sean Anstee, leader of Trafford Council, said he understood parents' concerns and the council had been working with the governing body to resolve issues.
He added: "We are doing everything we can to reopen the school and return it to the wonderful school we know it to be."
Key Stage 1 pupils will be invited back into school on Friday and early years pupils will return on Monday.
A petition of no confidence in Ms Brindle has been signed by more than 900 people.
The head teacher told the BBC she did not want to comment.
The school teaches more than 200 pupils from the age of three to 11.


Negotiations are being held on forming a coalition of councillors that would then seek to form an administration to run Highland Council.

Independents, the largest group of councillors elected last week, are holding talks with others.
The SNP group has said a deal has been done between the independents, Liberal Democrats and Labour councillors.
However, the independents have said that nothing has been agreed and negotiations were continuing.
The SNP has accused the independents of failing to negotiate with them on the potential of forming an administration.
The results of last week's local elections saw 28 independent candidates elected followed by the SNP on 22, Conservatives and Liberal Democrats with 10 each, Labour three and Scottish Greens one.
The Conservatives were the first to be elected to Highland Council in 22 years.
Pippa Hadley's win for the Scottish Greens was a first for the local authority, which had no representative from that party previously.
A minority independent administration led Highland Council before the election.
