Life for killer who hid her dead parents
The Herald|October 12, 2024
AN "INTELLIGENT manipulator" who murdered her parents then lived alongside their bodies for four years while spending their money has been jailed for life with a minimum term of 36 years.
Life for killer who hid her dead parents

Virginia McCullough poisoned her father John McCullough, 70, with prescription medication that she crushed and put into his alcoholic drinks in June 2019.

A day later she also beat her 71-yearold mother Lois McCullough with a hammer and fatally stabbed her.

Chelmsford Crown Court heard the 36-year-old hid their bodies in makeshift tombs at the family home in Great Baddow in Essex, then told persistent lies to cover her tracks.

She ran up large debts on credit cards in her parents' names, and after their deaths she continued to spend their pensions.
