Police believe they have recovered the weapon used in the murder of Lurgan woman Natalie McNally and that it came from her home.
PSNI Det Ch Insp Neil McGuinness said he believed she knew her killer, that they had a pre-existing relationship and that she had let them into her home."I believe this was a targeted attack towards Natalie McNally," said Det Ch Insp McGuinness.Det Ch Insp McGuinness said he was "keeping an open mind" as to whether it was a planned attack or something that developed when the killer arrived at Ms McNally's home.
He also appealed for anyone who knew Natalie or had interacted with her online or in person to contact police. Det Ch Insp McGuinness asked the public not to count on the fact that the images appeared to be grey as CCTV footage was "notoriously difficult" at differentiating colours. "Some must know who he is. Do you really want to protect a man who would kill a woman and her unborn baby?" he added."They're not helpful," he replied.Image caption,A silent vigil took place at Stormont for Ms McNally on Thursday afternoon.
