‘Her actions were considered, meticulous and carried out in such a way as to conceal what she had done for as long as possible.

‘These were the actions of someone who had taken time to plan and carry out the murder of her parents in the interest of self-preservation and personal gain, before living within meters of the bodies of her two victims for a number of years.

‘Throughout the course of our investigation, we have built a picture of the vast levels of deceit, betrayal and fraud she engaged in. It was on a shocking and monumental scale.

The home where everything took place

‘McCullough lied about almost every aspect of her life, maintaining a charade to deceive everyone close to her and clearly taking advantage of her parents’ good will.

‘She is an intelligent manipulator who chose to kill her parents callously, without a thought for them or those who continue to suffer as a result of their loss.

‘The details of this case shock and horrify even the most experienced of murder detectives, let alone any right-thinking member of the public.

‘It therefore follows that the wider family of John and Lois, understandably, could never have guessed or anticipated that McCullough would be capable of undertaking these murders before committing herself to this level of deceit.

‘They have been left utterly devastated by the circumstances of this case and they continue to feel the loss of John and Lois each and every day.

‘This process, from the finding of John and Lois’ remains, to the unravelling of McCullough’s web of lies, has taken a huge toll on the wider family network.

‘With this sentence and with all that we have uncovered throughout our investigation, we hope they can now start to find a way forward with their lives.

‘The family have continued to struggle with the intense media interest in this case and I would repeat, in the strongest possible terms, their wish for their privacy to be respected as they continue to grieve their loss.’

Shocking Details of how McCullough killed both parents

She spoke only to confirm her name – and wept as the grisly details of her evil deeds were read out.

The court heard she gave her father a fatal dose of sleeping tablets, leaving him to die alone. McCullough found him dead the next morning – before deciding her mother could not be allowed to find out.

As Mrs McCullough lay in bed listening to the radio, unaware her husband was dead, her daughter entered and exited the room, plotting how to kill the woman who had given her life.

The gruesome attack began with a hammer – before she fetched a Lakeland kitchen knife because ‘the hammer was not going to work and I didn’t actually want her to suffer’, she told detectives.

‘I was hitting like someone badly playing the xylophone or something,’ she had added.

She then held her mother’s hand and apologised as the 71-year-old bled out.

After the killing, McCullough went into Chelmsford town centre where she bought plastic gloves from Lakeland, paying with her father’s credit card, along with sleeping bags she used to roll up her parents’ bodies.

In all, she frittered away £149,697 from credit cards, bank accounts, pensions and benefits attached to her parents – including over £21,000 on gambling
