Dad who killed 8-year-old daughter as revenge on ex-wife's lesbian love is found guilty by jury in just 80 minutes
British man William Billingham, who stabbed and killed his eight-year-old daughter Mylee to death on January 20 at his residence in the Brownhills, near Walsall, has been found guilty of murder by a jury after just 80 minutes in deliberation. The 55-year-old went on trial at the Birmingham Crown Court this past month for the killing, which he had denied on grounds of diminished responsibility. Dailymail reported that Billingham had murdered his daughter because he was allegedly jealous of his partner's new girlfriend.
However, an emotionless Billingham watched on from the dock, as the jury of four men and eight women found him unanimously guilty following just an hour of deliberations. The verdict will likely come as a relief to the girl's mother, Tracey Taundry, who had stood outside the house in horror as the 55-year-old murdered Mylee.
