teacher who murdered partner gets 20- year term

A primary school teacher who stabbed her partner to death and buried his body in their garden has been jailed for a minimum of 20 years.

Fiona Beal, 50, pleaded guilty to murdering Nicholas Billingham in April and was sentenced at the Old Bailey by Judge Mark Lucraft on Thursday.

The partly mummified remains of 42-year-old Mr Billingham were found in Northampton in March 2022, more than four months after he was last seen alive.

Judge Lucraft imposed a mandatory life sentence and said Beal must serve 20 years in jail before being considered for parole.
