> Tony Ticehurst confronted Daniel Billings during the first day of his sentencing hearing, saying that part of him died with his daughter Molly and that he hoped her screams would haunt the killer forever. Billings broke into Molly’s Forbes bedroom in April 2024 and stabbed her 15 times. He pleaded guilty to murder, with sentencing expected later in September.
