A shocking new ITV documentary, Killer in the House: The Murder of Nicholas Billingham, dives deep into one of Northamptonshire Police’s most high-profile murder cases in recent years.
Teacher Turned Killer: How Fiona Beal Disappeared Her Partner
In 2021, primary school teacher Fiona Beal brutally murdered her partner, builder Nicholas Billingham, at their home in Northampton. She stabbed the 42-year-old in the neck after discovering his affair, then hid his body beneath layers of concrete in their garden.

Billingham was last seen alive in November 2021. His partially mummified remains were only found months later, in March 2022.
Police Puzzle: From Injury to Grim Discovery
The investigation initially didn’t suspect foul play. That changed when officers found Beal injured at a secluded lodge in Cumbria. A journal recovered there revealed dark secrets, leading police back to the couple’s Moore Street home. Blood-stained bedding and Billingham’s hidden corpse finally cracked the case.
