The woman admitted that the attack on her boyfriend Nicholas Billingham was already being strategically planned, having therefore purchased a knife, cable ties and a chisel in advance.

As Sky News explains, the teacher told those closest to her that they were infected with the virus and that they needed to isolate themselves. Later, she started sending messages from cell phone Nicholas to announce the end of the relationship, allegedly motivated by betrayal on his part. According to friends’ reports, Nicholas had not been seen for about four months.
However, in March 2022, the 42-year-old man’s body was discovered in the couple’s garden, partially mummified. Fiona Beal was arrested and initially pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter by loss of control. However, the police find a diary where the woman reported the crime.
