A chilling case involving the alleged murder of a man and the subsequent burial of his body in a garden is set to unfold in court next week as primary school teacher Fiona Beal, 50, prepares to stand trial.
Beal stands accused of fatally stabbing her partner, Nick Billingham, 42, at their residence in Northampton on November 1, 2021. The grim discovery of Mr. Billingham’s body, buried in the garden of their Moore Street terraced property, emerged five months later in March 2022, following an extensive search operation by police specialist teams, including a cadaver dog.
