Jurors hear from the father of Fiona Beal, who is accused of murdering and burying her partner.
Nicholas Billingham's remains were found months after he was allegedly murdered by his girlfriend Fiona Beal
Her father Alan Beal recounted a time when his daughter was said to have made her partner a meal when he was ill, but he refused it and bought a takeaway.Prosecutors at Northampton Crown Court alleged Ms Beal stabbed Mr Billingham, 42, in the neck with a knife in the bedroom of their home in Moore Street, Northampton.
When Mr Billingham was said to have had Covid-19, Mr Beal said: "She took him a meal up and he said, 'I'm not eating that', and ordered a takeaway, just for himself. She said he was horrible." He also agreed he believed Mr Billingham was not a good influence, that he did not trust him and that one Christmas had "ruined the day for the whole family".
Giving evidence, her mother Julia Beal said her daughter was planning to return on a certain day, but later got in touch to say she needed more time there, saying "she was in a bad place in her head and would stay on a few days".
