Stephen McCullagh, 36, from Lisburn, Northern Ireland, is sentenced to at least 31 years in prison for the murder of his pregnant partner, Natalie McNally. The courts find that McCullagh killed McNally in Lurgan while she was pregnant, and he later attempted to create a false alibi. According to reporting, he tried to use an online livestream on YouTube to suggest he was elsewhere by broadcasting a video-gaming session. Prosecutors and the court characterize the killing as planned in advance and carried out with calculation. At Belfast Crown Court, McCullagh is sentenced on the murder charge and receives a term of 31 years, which he must serve in full or in line with the minimum term set by the court. Both accounts describe McCullagh’s effort to divert suspicion through the staged livestream and note that the sentence reflects the seriousness of the offence. The two sources align on the victim’s identity and pregnancy, the defendant’s name and age, the location in Northern Ireland, and the 31-year prison term.
