Virginia McCullough case

Virginia McCullough is a British convicted murderer serving life imprisonment for the murders of her parents, John and Lois McCullough, who were poisoned with prescription medication (and battered and stabbed to death in the case of Lois) at their home in Great Baddow, Essex, in June 2019.

McCullough then constructed a makeshift tomb for her father made from breezeblocks and sleeping bags, while she stored her mother's body in a wardrobe, where it was also wrapped in a sleeping bag. McCullough then lived in her parents' house alongside the bodies for the next four years until she was arrested by Essex Police in September 2023. After pleading guilty to two counts of murder at her pre-trial hearing at Chelmsford Crown Court on 4 July 2024, McCullough was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 36 years at a hearing on 11 October.
