Virginia McCullough admitted killing John and Lois McCullough, both aged in their 70s, in 2019.
A woman has pleaded guilty to the murder of her parents after “confessing to poisoning her father with prescription medication and stabbing her mother”.
To cover her tracks, she told persistent lies about their whereabouts, frequently telling doctors and relatives her parents were unwell, on holiday or away on lengthy trips, Essex Police added.Her actions were uncovered after her parents’ GPs raised concerns over missed appointments in 2023 and police executed a warrant at the Pump Hill address on September 15 2023.
An inquest into the death of Lois McCullough, 75, previously heard she died of stab wounds to the chest. “This involved expertise and insight from several teams across the force and it is thanks to the work of dozens of dedicated officers and staff that we were able to bring this tragic case to court and, now, a satisfactory conviction.”
