The man accused of murdering Natalie McNally “lied and lied again”, a barrister has told Belfast Crown Court.
Delivering his closing statement in the case, prosecuting barrister Charles MacCreanor KC reminded the jury that the accused Stephen McCullagh had chosen not to give evidence to his trial.
However, defence barrister John Kearney KC said the case against Stephen McCullagh is “dependent upon circumstantial evidence”.
There are “troubling” aspects of the prosecution case against the man accused of murdering Natalie McNally that point “towards some other killer”, he said.
36-year-old McCullagh denies killing Natalie McNally (32), who was found dead at her home in Lurgan on December 18, 2022.
The Belfast Telegraph’s Crime Correspondent Allison Morris is covering the case.
