Northampton: teacher who murdered partner gets 20- year term

A Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) lawyer praised Mr Billingham’s family.

“Fiona Beal’s crime and her ongoing deception shocked family members and the whole community,” said Andrew Baxter, a deputy chief crown prosecutor at CPS East Midlands.

“She exploited a narrative that she was the victim of abuse at the hands of her long-term partner, but rather than leave the relationship, she killed him in a planned, cold-blooded execution when he thought he was safe with his partner.”

He added: “This has been a particularly distressing time for Mr Billingham’s family as they have had to come to terms with Beal’s ongoing lies, and deceit, which even included letting them visit the house when his body was hidden there.

“I have nothing but admiration for the dignity they have shown through these ongoing proceedings and my heart goes out to them for their loss.”
