A primary school teacher has been sentenced to life with a minimum of 20 years behind bars, for the murder of her partner.
The defendant remained head bowed as she was led from the courtroom. During the sentencing, prosecutor Hugh Davies KC presented a letter written by Mr Billingham to Beal, in which he acknowledged his infidelity during their 17-year relationship, referred to Beal as "the most beautiful woman in the world" vowed never to "belittle" her again, and professed his love for her "with all my heart".
Beal fatally stabbed him in the neck and then disposed of his body in the side return of their property like it was "building waste", detailed Mr Davies. She concocted an elaborate cover-up, claiming they were isolating due to Covid. A month later, Beal rented a cabin in Cumbria and sent concerning messages to her family, leading them to alert the police about her welfare. Police discovered Beal's journals in the cabin, which included a confession to the murder.
Her journal also contained the ominous recounting: "My last words to him when he asked why was that he was not going to do to what he had done to me."
