Northampton teacher Fiona Beal stabbed partner
Nicholas Billingham's remains were found months after he was allegedly killed by his girlfriend Fiona Beal
The prosecution told the town's crown court Fiona Beal confessed in a notebook "the things he said and did fuelled my dark side".The jury was told Mr Billingham's body was discovered four and a half months after he was last seen at a business meeting.Opening the prosecution's case, Steven Perian KC said Ms Beal had penned a "chilling" confession in which she wrote that she believed her partner was cheating on her and she "had decided to kill him".
She then tied up and wrapped his body, buried it in the garden, and painted and cleaned the bedroom where the killing had taken place, Mr Perian said. The investigation began when Ms Beal was absent from work again, in March 2022, prompting a concerned family member to contact police. It continued: "While he was in the bath I kept the knife in my dressing gown pocket and then hid it in the drawer next to the bed."I got him to wear an eye mask. It was harder than I thought it would be. Hiding a body was bad. Moving a body is much more difficult than it looks on TV."
