A jury at Birmingham Crown Court convicted Billingham of killing his daughter at his bungalow near Walsall, West Midlands, on January 20 this year. Jurors deliberated for around 80 minutes before unanimously convicting Billingham of murder and a separate charge of making a threat to kill 34-year-old Miss Taundry. But prosecutors argued that Billingham "turned his anger" on Mylee to spite Miss Taundry after she began a same-sex relationship. Billingham waited for Tracey to collect Mylee from his home, where he callously armed himself with a kitchen knife. Just 15 minutes earlier Billingham had posted a photo on Facebook showing his smiling daughter eating pizza on his bed.
