Natalie McNally: Case against murder accused Stephen McCullagh ... (Belfast Live)

Stephen McCullagh is accused of fatally stabbing Ms McNally, who was 15 weeks pregnant, to death at her home in Lurgan last December.

Detectives claimed the accused left his phone at the home of the victim's parents and recorded 40 minutes of audio in an attempt to determine if he was suspected of the murder. Defence lawyers have disputed the strength of the case against him, contending that he has been charged with murder on the basis of the livestreaming inconsistency. He claimed that at the time of the killing he was drinking on his own in his house and fell asleep. The case against McCullagh includes CCTV evidence from a bus in Lurgan and an account from a taxi driver, through which police believe they can trace him from the murder scene back to his home in Lisburn. Arrested in the wake of the murder, he had been initially ruled out as a suspect due to the alleged livestream alibi. Last week, a planned bail application at the High Court was adjourned to next month to allow his lawyers time to hold consultations in prison and respond to undisclosed points raised in written submissions by the prosecution.
