- A primary school teacher has admitted murdering her partner and burying him in their garden, having changed her plea a week into her retrial.
Fiona Beal, 50, had previously pleaded guilty to the manslaughter of Nicholas Billingham, 42, but denied the more serious charge. On Friday morning, a week into her retrial at the Old Bailey in London, she changed her plea.
The partly mummified remains of Billingham were found in March 2022, four and a half months after he was last seen. Beal, from Northampton, was arrested that month.

There’s definitely double standards when it comes to domestic violence where men are the victims. For some reason there’s less outrage and less coverage. People forget that women can be just as vile and dangerous.
I was with one of these women, I provided everything, worked hard, made a lovely home in Dorset with a sea view, she was never happy with anything and always angry, even with strangers, one evening I was sat watching TV and something made me look round and she was coming at me with a kitchen knife, that was the last straw for me, I got away quickly, shortly afterwards her sister told me she had been seeing a young lad 16 years old. I recently found out she’s having trouble with her third husband. I consider myself lucky, I dodged a knife and a bullet.
@@hardlines2635Lucky you. I'm so pleased for you. Just move on and live the rest of your life in peace. Enjoy each day and be thankful.
Nicholas was the abusive one.
Murder is never ok, but he treated her terribly.
Grew up with my mom as the abuser my dad got on with it worked away and took the punches I was rage inside saying just hit her back but my old man never did.
Men suffer too but whole stigma around men been victims well you don't hear it much
@@dshe8637that's what she says tho to make out she's the victim but we don't know tho
Something has gone terribly wrong in this world for murder to take place
We are currently living in what is possibly the most peaceful era of the last few thousand years and the freedoms that we all enjoy (movement, religion, sexuality, speech, information, etc) mean that (sadly) occasionally people are likely to get hurt or killed.
Don't let it get you down. Enjoy the time you have here and try not to be a dick 🤷♂
Count yourself lucky you don't live in America 👍🤗
Come on you Reds!!!! 🏆🥇
Read the book of genesis
What a brave mother.
May she learn to live with this nightmare.❤and respect.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️
May Nicholas Billingham rest in peace. My God grant his family., especially his mom, the fortitude to bear the loss, especially under such horrible circumstances.
Tragic.
😢
Nuts
usual suspect
So this was murder from Domestic Abuse, right?
#ithappens
I mean from his point of view!
Always some excuse women get to absolve them of responsibility.
@@LibertarianGalt no not at all. Domestic abuse happens to men too. And I believe he was a victim of it, currently until proven otherwise
A family male member Is getting accused if all sorts .But it's the opposite way around . She stalks him steals his things has kicked him down stairs but the narc plays the victim and police believe her on no evidence . Been going on 2 years or more. Narcessistic mayhem
@@Annabella24183 I can believe that. The police aren’t very good when it comes to believing women can be the abuser too sometime. They need learning!
Domestic abuse happened to all. It’s control and violence and can come from any sex in a relationship.
Isn’t that right #norfolkconstabulary!
If it was a bloke, you would call him a monster
I am woman and i think she is a monster for what she did, so What's your point exactly?
she's a monster for killing him
@@Christ_Is_King34the point seems to have gone over your head unfortunately.
The person wasn't talking to you, the person was referring to the media and the narrative that they spin in terms of gender when it comes to crime, especially domestic violence.
He never said "Christ_Is_King34 wouldn't call him a monster". He was clearly referring to the press/media. Please get a grip, this isn't about you.
@@dirtyharold7164 Hm, i get where you're coming from, but i also believe that you're living a bit in the past. Think recently to the Amber Heard case, the whole media was very much so against her in this time, many outlets labelled her a monster for DV and rightfully so.
Although i agree that the media can be biased with genders and often demonises both genders in relation to different things, i also think that ignoring the implications of the comment is a bit dishonest. To me, it is only really serving to further this stupid gender war since it seems to be more of a jab at women than any particular social commentary.
I also think the hostility in your comment isn't really helping you to get across your point either. It's clear that you're passionate about the topic and i absolutely respect that because it's a very important discussion, but if you actually want people to listen to you maybe don't be condescending towards them in your reply.
@@dirtyharold7164
No need to be so nasty yourself. You're hardly a good example to anyone.
The person making the point could have been clearer that their comment was aimed at the media. If indeed it was. And not just the public at large.
