Fiona Beal, 49, tells court 'things became more difficult' when her partner was furloughed in 2020.
A teacher who stabbed her partner and buried his body said their relationship deteriorated during the first lockdown.
She told Northampton Crown Court that her furloughed partner had become "more angry and aggressive" and her self-esteem had "hit rock bottom".The prosecution alleges that Ms Beal, of Moore Street, Northampton, hid a knife in a bedside drawer and got Mr Billingham to wear an eye mask before stabbing him in the neck in their bedroom on 1 November 2021.
The primary school teacher, who claimed she did not remember "much at all" about the killing or the months that followed, was asked to give details about the period after 2018, when she found out Mr Billingham was having an affair. She told the court on Tuesday: "He really made an effort. I genuinely thought this could be the turning point."Nicholas Billingham was furloughed in June 2020, Ms Beal told the court
