After living alongside their decomposing body for several years, a UK girl was given a life sentence for the terrible deaths of her parents.
Virginia McCullough, 36, was handed a maximum sentence of 36 times on Friday, for the deaths of her parents, Lois and John McCullough, in their Wonderful Baddow home. After the pair had several appointments and prescriptions, a involved doctor called the authorities, which led to an investigation by Essex Police in September 2022.
The body of John and Lois, who were 70 and 71 at the time of their deaths, were found inside the house. John’s figure was hidden in what Virginia described as a “homemade mausoleum”, while her family’s remains were found in a sleeping bag in an inside clothing.
When officers visited the McCullough home house, Virginia first told them her kids were travelling, a lie she had maintained to doctors, friends, and family throughout the crisis. However, government soon became suspicious and searched the house. Bodycam images shared by the BBC shows Virginia managing officers to her parents ‘ remains, confessing,” I did understand that this would sort of come later, and it’s right that I serve my abuse”.
Virginia admitted to poisoning her parents in the summer of 2019 and killing him. She added prescription medication to his drinks and destroyed it. Virginia after sedated Lois with the same medications before fatally beating her with a hammer and repeatedly stabbing her, feigning her mother did discover the truth. ” When I was hitting her, it was like somebody seriously playing the xylophone. It was willy-nilly”, she told authorities, as quoted by PEOPLE.
Researchers determined that Virginia’s cause was financial. She had been using her parents ‘ pensions after their deaths, adding more debt to their credit cards, and manipulating them for years.
Detective Superintendent Rob Kirby, of Essex Police, called Virginia an “intelligent operator” who lied about virtually every aspect of her life. He called her actions” startling and gigantic in level” and added that she had been acting “monumental”.
The home of John and Lois expressed their disaster in a speech, saying,” Our Mum and Dad are always in our souls, and are loved and missed beyond any measure”.
Virginia McCullough may serve for at least 36 years before becoming eligible for pardon.
