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.
