Download Episode 3: The “so-called livestream”

A special podcast series from BBC News NI covering the trial of a man accused of the murder of Natalie McNally in Lurgan in 2022.

Stephen McCullagh, 36, from Woodland Gardens in Lisburn, County Antrim, has denied her murder.

Ms McNally was 32 years old and 15 weeks pregnant when she died.

Kelly Bonner and Chris Buckler will bring you the evidence presented to the jury in court each day.

On day 3 of the trial, the jury has been shown what the prosecution described as the ‘so-called’ YouTube livestream that Stephen McCullagh initially used as an alibi.

Phone messages exchanged between the pair on the day that Natalie was killed were also read out.

The case continues.
