A compulsive liar murdered her parents before hiding their bodies in a “homemade tomb” and cupboard as she plundered their life savings while living alongside them, a court was told.
Virginia McCullough, 36, spun a web of lies to family and friends to conceal the deaths of her parents, John, 70, and Lois, 71, whose murders she had spent months planning.
After killing her parents in June 2019, McCullough spent another four years living with their corpses at the family’s home on the outskirts of Chelmsford, Essex.
Before her ruse was uncovered, McCullough fraudulently spent almost £150,000 using her parents’ pensions or debts in their names
