Chelmsford: So, here’s the scoop. Virginia McCullough, 36, got arrested by Essex Police at her parents’ place in Great Baddow on September 15, 2023. It’s a pretty shocking story.
Turns out, she poisoned her dad, John McCullough, 70, back in June 2019. She crushed up some prescription meds and mixed them into his drinks. Yikes!
But it didn’t stop there. Just a day later, she attacked her mom, Lois, 71, with a hammer and then stabbed her. It’s just heartbreaking.
After the whole thing, she hid their bodies in the house and kept living there until the police caught up with her. Can you believe that?
The investigation kicked off after their doctor got worried and raised the alarm. It’s wild how things unfolded.
Virginia eventually admitted to two counts of murder at Chelmsford Crown Court on June 4, 2024. She’s facing a long time behind bars.
In October 2024, Essex Police even released bodycam footage of her arrest. It’s all so surreal.
The family of John and Lois shared a heartfelt statement, remembering their beloved parents and thanking the police for their efforts.
Now, Essex Police is looking into a video that popped up online, filmed inside the McCullough home by some urban explorers. It’s causing quite a stir.
A police spokesperson said they’re aware of the footage and are investigating how it got out. They’re asking folks not to share it out of respect for the family. It’s a tough time for them.
