Fiona Beal, 50, has admitted the lesser offence on the first day of her trial for the murder of Nicholas Billingham.

A primary school teacher accused of stabbing her partner to death “in cold blood” before burying his body in their garden has pleaded guilty to manslaughter.

Opening her trial, prosecutor Hugh Davies KC said: “There is no dispute that she killed Nick Billingham, concealed his body where it was found and acted alone throughout. There is no dispute that she intended to kill him. Forensic officers and specialist search teams were deployed to the address before the discovery was made.Opening her trial, prosecutor Hugh Davies KC told jurors that Beal, “a high-functioning professional”, messaged several people on 1 November, 2021 – and in the days after – that she and Mr Billingham had contracted Covid-19 and needed to isolate.

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.”
