Last week a convicted rapist who threatened and harassed three female Sunday World journalists has been jailed for 11 years. Mark McAnaw repeatedly sent Amanda Brunker, Deirdre Reynolds and Nicola Tallant emails and messages of a violent and sexually threatening nature, which escalated to him threatening to “put bullets” in one of them. He also referred to himself as an “IRA Top Boy”.

'A different level of evil’: The convicted rapist who stalked three Sunday World journalists  

On 18 December 2022, 32-year-old Natalie McNally was found dead in her Lurgan home.

According to her autopsy, she suffered multiple stab wounds, strangulation and several heavy blows to the head. She was also 15 weeks pregnant at the time.

Her partner, Stephen McCullagh, is now on trial for her murder in one of the highest-profile cases Northern Ireland’s courts have seen in years.

Central to the trial is a gaming livestream which the prosecution allege was staged to create an alibi for the accused.
