CCTV shows Northampton teacher Fiona Beal buying decorative stone and compost from a B&Q to allegedly bury murdered partner Nicholas Billingham. She is seen walking out with trolleys loaded with bags. The CCTV was shown to a jury today.
A primary school teacher who today pleaded guilty to murdering her 'cheating' partner planned the killing in her diary, where she wrote under her 'alter-ego' Tulip22.
Mr Billingham's body went undiscovered for four months before police found Beal's journal, in which she wrote how her lover asked 'why?' when she knifed him. Beal buried her boyfriend in a makeshift grave filled with compost and ten 22.5kg bags of Cotswold Stone that she bought from B&Q especially for the purposeMr Billingham was found in the couple's back garden several months after he disappeared
'I have to confess. Ok here goes. October 2021. He spat on me and threatened me during sex. I thought about leaving but the things he said and did fuelled my dark side - I call her Tulip22, she's reckless, fearless and efficient. Ruthless. '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.'
According to the initial trial, police officers recovered a notebook from the place where she had been renting that detailed a chilling account of how she had planned and killed someone, but it did not contain the name of the person she had killed. 'I suppose I ought to explain what happened to get me to this point. My mental health had been deteriorating. Whenever he was cheating he would up the ante on belittling, moaning and criticising.'
'That night I planned. Covid rules meant I had a guaranteed 10-day isolation period from positive symptoms. Prosecutor Hugh Davies, KC, told the Old Bailey: 'Central to the plan was knowing that after stabbing him, if she claimed she had Covid, she would have 10 days to bury him and cover up her crime.
'There is no evidence she ever did a PCR test. Her actions in the next 10 days are wholly inconsistent with having the exhausting effects of Covid which she was claiming to be experiencing.' She returned to work 'fully discharging her considerable responsibilities as a teacher to Year 6 pupils' and receiving a 'sympathetic response' from people who had heard about her break-up.
'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.'Beal sent messages to her sisters that she and Mr Billingham had split up, with one message referencing that he left because of he had had an affair with another woman Speaking after the guilty plea, Mr Billingham's mother Yvonne said it hurt her to know her son's killer offered her a drink while he was buried just feet away.
'Fiona offered me a Christmas drink, and I said thank you, so I sat there with this drink, but then it always gets to me because Nick was buried in the garden just a few feet away and I didn't know he was there.
Explaining her reasons for discharging the original jury, Judge Lucking said she had not recognised Ms Drummond during her evidence-in-chief and there were no means available to continue the trial and 'ensure a fair verdict and a safe conviction'. The prosecution case at the original trial was that Beal killed Mr Billingham because she suspected he was having an affair, and that their relationship was not controlling or coercive.
She had also informed her employer, GeoAmey, that she knew Beal and they took steps to ensure there was no further work-related contact between them. The ruling discharging the original jury said: 'Counsel for the prosecution says that the fact this witness was a GeoAmey custody officer in Northampton was a complete surprise to them.
