It said she should “stand up for herself”, the trial heard
A schoolteacher alleged to have stabbed her husband after hatching a murder plot later told healthcare professionals a voice in her head said she should “stand up for herself”, a trial has heard. Fiona Beal is accused of murdering Nicholas Billingham, her long-term partner, on November 1 2021, after penning a “chilling” confession detailing her plan to kill the 42-year-old in their Northampton home.
After being detained under the Mental Health Act, she was arrested on suspicion of murder on March 17 and, during a psychiatric assessment, she told healthcare professionals that a voice in her head “told her to stand up for herself”, a police officer said. PC Bromley said he made an “assumption” that this related to a partner or ex-partner, but did not explicitly hear Beal say this. Bodycam footage of the assessment later showed psychiatrists confirming that she heard “different voices” on “some days”, starting the previous November.
In a statement read out in court, PC Benjamin Lawson said he was shown the blue notebook on the same day while supervising Beal in hospital. Both he and PC Lawson contacted Northamptonshire Police on March 16 to see if anyone connected or living with Beal had been reported missing.
