Moment Virginia McCullough admits killing her parents
A woman who murdered her parents and then lived alongside their bodies for four years told police who arrested her: “Cheer up, at least you’ve caught the bad guy.”
Virginia McCullough, 36, poisoned her father John McCullough, 70, with a “cocktail of prescription drugs” and fatally stabbed her mother Lois McCullough, 71, with a kitchen knife in the summer of 2019.
At a sentencing hearing on Friday, the court heard how McCullough had built a “makeshift tomb” for her father in a ground floor room of the family home, which had been his bedroom and study.
She is then said to have put her mother’s body in a sleeping bag in a bedroom wardrobe on the top floor of their home in Pump Hill in Great Baddow, Essex.

Four years ? Lmao!!!! Some "investigation" there buddy talk about half assed.
As a so who lost both beloved parents this was so painful to watch. May she suffer and rot in hell.
Psychopath
No interrogation needed…just a matter-of-fact explanation of events.
I found this very disturbing. I can't imagine how the coppers felt after dealing with this.
Was she given the job of care giver to her parents without help from her siblings. Did she suffer mental abuse and felt abandoned by her family. This is totally insane. It's impossible to look after both your parents without help. There is more to this horrible story.RIP to the elderly couple. Why did she not go to the police or her parents Dr.😢
The smell!!!!!!
There is something very odd about this and about how calm she is… very very weird to say the least.!!!!
That's more than strange… 😢
First she needs to go to speech therapy
Monster 💀👺
She taking the fall for her siblings? Maybe they all wanted them gone?
Always avoid womens with black color nails, that is red flag.
Looks like she was left to care for her parents alone whilst the others did not help. The stress and mental strain took it’s toll, she lost the plot. Sad situation and I feel awful they failed their parents. Their parents deserved better, such evil.
Did she had a partner? Work mates ?
I want to know how yall feeling about this?
WTF is wrong with people these days? 😮
This is how British people muckduck each other? So polite.
36 years in Britain = 3 years and then probation. Also wtf were her siblings doing not checking on their wellbeing after 4 f-ing years.
Typical whytes
I lived about 30 seconds away from where this happened. There were police and forensics at the house for several days. Today it’s still boarded up and I’m not sure what will happen to it as it’s a terraced house, albeit the first in the row. Usually these houses will be demolished. Would be nice to have a memorial to her parents. Before that I had just moved from another house where 10 seconds from my house a man was shot and killed at a gas station. I’ve grown up in Great Baddow my whole life and to see the number of murders, other than these, still shocks me. It’s always been a peaceful and safe area up until the last few years. Such a shame. RIP to these lost souls who didn’t deserve this ❤
love the bit where the officer says she cannot go upstairs as it's now a crime scene lol. its been 4 years
It’s just crazy how she’s just speaking so calmly, after murdering her poor parents . What a shame!
She’s calm because she knew this was coming for 4 years.
Is this how long it takes for ambulance in UK to arrive too? I hope not.
😳🕯️🕊️
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
I’m 58 and I take care of my 83 year old mom and I know what it’s like to not have siblings care about their mother’s wellbeing. I have a younger brother and an older stepbrother (same mom different dad) and neither check on our mom. My younger brother stole her house and made her homeless back in 2016 and now she’s with me. And my stepbrother did the same thing to our grandma back when I was in my 20’s and he took her house which was supposed to go to me. He hadn’t spoke to my mom from then until I was in the hospital for 3 months in 2018 and he had to drive her to see me. Since I got out there’s been no contact. There’s been times where I could have used their help. Even reached out to get some and nothing. So I know about siblings abandoning their parents. It’s heartbreaking, but my mom always has me.
I wouldn't be surprised to find out the other siblings hated their parents as much as she did. They're could be a reason for it; something stinks that is just a wee bit beyond the obvious
SO THIS ALL HAPPENED WIRH COVID LOCKDOWN SHOCKING AND EVIL PERSON R I P PARENTS ❤
My guess is at least one of the parents was abusive…I doubt home was a safe space for her and her siblings.
crazy
Sociopathpathic murderer. But find in extremely, extremely strange that her siblings didn't see their parents for over 4 years.
I actually fear for the prisoners safety!!!
When a type b personality has confessional ocd
Shocking how nice and normal she comes across. Not bad looking either, definitely not the stereotypical parent killer.
kislux versace bag is so cute
Someone else is involved. She said she was evil and referred to herself as ‘we’ then got interrupted before finishing the sentence.
She has clearly practiced for this moment. She is cold so it surprises me she didn’t go through the effort to cover her tracks.
At least 1 other person knew.
This is e d l 😂
I was in Peterborough prison October 2023 with her. She is exactly as she comes across in the video calm and collected 😭😂
For money? I bet she just bought ostentatious crapp with that money. Trying to be a Kardashian. I doubt she was bankrolling the next space rocket/AI/anti-cancer start up.
At least wait for a lawyer
Dark nail polish, like Cruella DeVille, and tattoos like a convict. Not hard to tell who's a criminal.
That's what pure evil looks like.
What a polite arrest 👍
The smell of those poor people's decomposing bodies must have been horrendous so how she got away with it for FOUR years is disgusting…😡 😡 😡 😡 😡
I wonder why none of the other siblings kept in contact with their parents?
She is low iq
Shes so cold calm & cool – she could almost be a Spy
It’s the police officer face just staring at her 😂but on a serious note this is plain demonic 😮😮
The aggressive officer needed to realise quicker that she was ready to surrender and confess fully in detail to her crimes. It took him way too long to calm down. He could cause unnecessary harm to himself or other officers on the scene by behaving like that, just let her speak for heavens sake!
