A WOMAN has today admitted murdering her parents whose remains were discovered five years after they were last seen alive.
Virginia McCullough, 35, knifed her mum Lois McCullough, 75, to death at home in Chelmsford, Essex.
She also killed her 74-year-old dad John between June 17 and June 20, 2019 – although the couple had not been seen since the previous August.
Their bodies lay undiscovered in her home until police were called following a concern for welfare report in September 2023.
Officers had also visited the home on August 18 last year after McCullough claimed she had been assaulted.
Officers interviewed her unaware the bodies were upstairs but no search was carried out as there was no indication of anything suspicious.
Essex Police carried out a review and concluded the female officer who interviewed McCullough had done nothing wrong.
