A 55-year-old man who stabbed his 8-year-old daughter in the chest in an apparent act of revenge against his ex-partner, Tracey Taundry, has been convicted of murder.
Birmingham Crown Court heard that William Billingham used a kitchen knife to kill Mylee after ignoring her screams as he dragged her into his bungalow near Walsall on 20 January, 2018.
Billingham was convicted of murder and making a threat to kill Miss Taundry. The unemployed factory worker opted not to give evidence and claimed he had no memory of stabbing Mylee.
He said he was guilty of the lesser offence of manslaughter due to depression. Prosecutors said Billingham had “turned his anger” on Mylee to spite Miss Taundry after she began a relationship with a woman.
He will be sentenced on Tuesday.
