Natalie McNally murder accused's 999 call was an act, court hears
- On Monday the trial began at Belfast Crown Court with Stephen McCullagh, 36, sat in the dock as he denied murdering Natalie McNally, 32, in Lurgan.
- The prosecution says the killing was 'planned, calculated and pre-meditated' and alleges the defendant staged a fake 999 call as part of his plan, at Belfast Crown Court.
- Forensic evidence presented in court shows paramedics and ambulance service found Ms McNally lying at the top of the stairs in the living area with McCullagh performing CPR and appearing upset.
- A jury of six men and six women was sworn and the prosecution played the 999 call audio in which the defendant described blood and pregnancy.
- Amid the evidence, the court heard that the defendant told police he livestreamed for six hours, but experts say the footage was recorded days earlier, while he traveled from Lisburn to Lurgan and changed clothes, with the estimated time of death between 8.50pm and 9.30pm on Sunday and a 999 call made around 10pm on Monday.
