THE HOUSE of horrors where an evil teacher murdered her boyfriend before burying him in the garden has been put up for sale.
Fiona Beal, 50, stabbed Nick Billingham, 42, in October or November 2021 after detailing her gruesome plans in a confession journal.

Detectives found the Man U fan hidden under building materials and compost at their terraced home in Kingsley, Northampton, in March 2022.
Now Moore Street is on the market for £200,000 and described as “ideal for a first time buyer or buy to let offered to the market with no onward chain”.
It still has the same red door as seen in forensic crime scene pictures, while the cellar where police discovered a blood-stained mattress is listed as a “key feature”.
Estate agents William H. Brown warned: “Buyers are kindly asked to research the history of this property or enquire with Tim Meeks prior to viewing.”
Despite the two-bed property’s macabre history, a £197,000 offer has been received – but more prospective buyers are being encouraged.
Primary school teacher Beal was jailed for a minimum of 20 years at London’s Old Bailey in May.
She lured Nick to bed by promising him sex and is believed to have cable tied him before stabbing him in the neck.
The heavy cannabis user wrote in her sick journal: “It was harder than I thought it would be. Hiding a body was bad.
“Moving a body is much more difficult than it looks on TV.”
Nick’s body was found buried under bedsheets, blankets, breeze blocks, timber, concrete and compost topped with a plant pot for decorative effect.
His mum Yvonne Valentine said in a victim impact statement: “You have faced judgement in court and will now have to face God’s judgement for eternity.
“You are pure evil.”
The Year 6 teacher claimed he had run off with another woman and received a “sympathetic” response over the apparent break up.
But as Nicholas’ body rotted in the back garden, the Old Bailey was told Beal’s mental health started to deteriorate.
In March 2022 – four months after the alleged murder – police were called to a holiday cabin she had rented in Cumbria amid concerns for her welfare.
Officers discovered journals where Beal outlined her plans under her alter ego “Tulip 22”, which showed a “wholly different side to her personality”.

Beal wrote in one entry: “Still my actions haunt me.
“I sometimes have to catch myself and remember what I did and then remember my cover story – neither seem convincing.”
