Today, a woman named Virginia McCullough stood before a judge and pleaded guilty to the murder of her parents, John and Lois McCullough. It was a shocking and tragic case that had remained a mystery for years.
According to reports, McCullough killed her parents sometime between June 17 and June 20, 2019. However, their bodies were not discovered until four years later, in September 2023. Concerned citizens had alerted the authorities about the couple's well-being, leading to the police finding their remains in a house in Pump Hill, Chelmsford.
During the inquest into Lois's death, it was determined that she had died from stab wounds to the chest. However, the cause of John's death is still under investigation. McCullough, who appeared via video-link at Chelmsford Crown Court, wore a grey top and spoke only to confirm her name and enter her guilty pleas. She showed no emotion throughout the proceedings.
The judge, Christopher Morgan, informed McCullough that there is only one sentence that can be given in such circumstances. However, he also stated that the minimum term would be taken into consideration. McCullough will be sentenced on October 10 and 11, and the judge ordered that she be remanded in custody and produced in court for the sentencing.
No further details about the case were discussed during the short court hearing. McCullough simply stated, "I understand," and thanked the judge at the end of the hearing. This is an ongoing news story, and updates will be provided as they become available.
