A YouTube account central to the murder conviction of Stephen McCullagh has been deleted. McCullagh, 36, was found guilty on March 23, 2026, of murdering his pregnant girlfriend, Natalie McNally, in Lurgan in December 2022.
During the trial, prosecutors demonstrated that McCullagh used the YouTube channel 'Stephen McCullagh' to post a pre-recorded gaming livestream, timestamped to appear live, to create a false alibi for the time of the murder. The account, which was accessible during the trial, was confirmed to have been deleted shortly after the verdict.
The jury unanimously convicted McCullagh after hearing evidence that he stabbed Ms. McNally 14 times. He is scheduled to be sentenced at a later date.
