Year 6 teacher Fiona Beal changed her plea to the charge a week into her retrial for murder at the Old Bailey.
A primary school teacher has admitted murdering her partner and burying his body in their garden, after changing her plea a week into her retrial.
Mr Billingham's partly-mummified remains were discovered in March 2022, four-and-a-half months after he was last seen. In the cabin, police found journals “written in her hand” that showed “a wholly different side to her personality”. “Promising sex after a bath, she stabbed him in the neck when he was wearing a sleep mask and was probably cabled-tied on their bed.”Credit: ITV News Anglia
The prosecutor called the narrative “sustained and dishonest” and told jurors there is “no evidence” that Beal took a Covid test.Mr Davies told jurors the messages from Mr Billingham’s phone were Beal “pretending to be him” in a move that was “as heartless as it was self-serving”.
