How did this manage to go on for 4 years? The family statements make it seem they had close and personal relationships with the parents yet it took a GP to raise concerns.

Yeah, been following this. It's so bizarre how she got away with it all, though it starting around COVID times would have made it somewhat easier to hide the dark secret.

No idea how she managed to keep up the appearance of parents being alive and well. She would tell different stories to different people, of what had happened to her parents. To one, she would say they have moved to Clacton and to others, that they had moved abroad.

The thing I don't get is how she managed to control the smell of rotting corpses from neighbours etc.

Very bizarre story isn't it and she was as calm as you like when the police finally turned up to arrest her.

The arrest video is chilling. She seems essentially very normal and talks as if she's describing what happened on Eastenders last night.

Strange statement from the family as well. Talking about how sad they all are and that the kids miss spending time with the grandparents... They haven't even been there for four years.

Yep scary and psychotic wow

We've been talking about it at work , and how calm and composed she was. I was wondering how she covered up the smell of decomposing bodies

I saw this story last night and heard a comment that the family were "devastated", I found that a bit hard to believe, the victims have been dead since 2019.

She's a pure sociopath. Wonder why she did it?

Media soundbite I guess, though the circumstances of their own kin topping their folks would be a shock. I agree though, even if they'd gone away you'd think no phone calls on birthdays or Xmas would be strange.

Having said that, know of one family that fell out and haven't spoken for ages .... two of the daughters don't know their mum died last year the the rest of the family have sold and split the house!

Edit this year

It's one of the eeriest things I've seen in a long time, she's so matter-of-fact about the corpses of her parents that she's been living next to for years, what the fuck

It might have been retribution for somebody born in the 80s being named Virginia?

I believe she had 4 siblings. What were they doing for those 3years?

Terry_dactyl · Oct 12, 2024

I just read how she killed her mum, the description of which she gave in court, and was apparently the only time she cried. Blimey.

Got this from TikTok so possibly nonsense but apparently poisoned her Dad quite humanely then buried him in essentially a tomb, but bludgeoned her Mum to death face to face in the morning then stuck her in a cupboard. Psychologists will have a field day with her.

They must've somewhat been in on it too.

Some interesting encounters here

How 'eccentric' daughter hid a dark secret of murdering her parents

Virginia McCullough spent four years living with the bodies of pensioners John and Lois, during which she fobbed off enquiries about their whereabouts with a feeble cover story.
