Transcript

00:00 She's just pleaded guilty to murder and we went wow, it was so much of a relief.

00:08 We didn't know why she'd done it and I don't think anyone knows why

00:14 and perhaps we'll never know. I mean I'm not a horrible person in any way I hope

00:20 but that's just what she deserves for what she done. To begin with we just

00:27 couldn't believe it because a lot of it at the beginning was we'd been lied to

00:35 by Fiona. The phone rang one morning March the 16th and it was the police and

00:43 I said hello and he said just let you know your son Nicholas Billingham is

00:50 missing. So I thought how can that be because we thought he was down in

00:59 Essex where we'd been told so how could this be that Nick was missing.

01:07 I lied Fiona, I'd got on with her okay. I mean just the previous Christmas I

01:15 went round to take Christmas presents and I went in the room looked completely

01:22 different to how it did and that made me say oh this looks nice. I gave them their

01:29 Christmas presents and after a little while I said I'll leave you to you know

01:36 get on with your day and not knowing later on that Nick was was buried out in

01:47 the garden. When I found out how she'd actually buried him was even, it's

02:00 hard for me to talk about it because it was horrible. I just can't still can't

02:05 get my head around it all because it's just so bizarre, so weird. How can she

02:12 have done that, all that to Nick?
