Stephen McCullagh

Stephen McCullagh, a 36-year-old man from Lisburn, County Antrim, Northern Ireland, is currently newsworthy due to his conviction for the murder of his pregnant girlfriend, Natalie McNally, 32. McCullagh was found guilty after a trial where evidence showed he staged a six-hour livestream of Grand Theft Auto to create a false alibi for the time of the murder in December 2022. Recent court proceedings revealed that McCullagh had a history of violence, including physically assaulting a previous partner and covertly recording her counselling sessions prior to meeting McNally. He denies murdering McNally, but the jury found him guilty. The case highlights the use of technology in attempting to conceal a crime and raises concerns about McCullagh's pattern of abusive behavior towards women.
