   A woman who murdered her parents and then feasted on their finances for   
   several years after hiding them in “makeshift tombs” at their own house   
   will spend the next several decades in prison.   
      
   On Friday, Virginia McCullough, 36, was sentenced to spend at least 36   
   years behind bars before she is eligible for parole, according to a press   
   release issued by the Essex Police Department in east England.   
      
   By the time the killer was apprehended, however, her guilt was never in   
   doubt. She readily admitted to the crime — and seemingly relished the   
   latest of several unfortunate turns when finally caught.   
      
   “Cheer up, at least you’ve caught the bad guy,” the murderess told   
   arresting officers in September 2023. “I know I don’t seem 100% evil.”   
      
   In June 2019, the since-condemned woman poisoned her father, John   
   McCullough, 70, with a fatal cocktail of prescription medication,   
   according to police. The pills, accumulated the months before, were   
   crushed or cut up and then secreted into alcoholic beverages.   
      
   The day after her father died, Virginia McCullough decided it was time for   
   her mother to go as well — in a far less surreptitious fashion. She beat   
   Lois McCullough, 71, with a hammer, then stabbed her to death.   
      
   For the next four-plus years, the woman lived alongside her dead parents.   
      
   After the highly considered murder of her father, Virginia McCullough   
   placed his body into a tomb “composed with masonry blocks stacked   
   together,” according to Prosecutor Lisa Wilding, in comments reported by   
   London-based cable news channel Sky News. On top of the tomb — constructed   
   in her father’s former study — the killer placed “multiple blankets, and a   
   number of pictures and paintings.”   
      
   The older woman’s body was wrapped in a sleeping bag and then placed   
   inside a wardrobe in an upstairs room of the family home, according to the   
   prosecutor.   
      
   “McCullough callously and viciously killed both of her parents before   
   concealing their bodies in makeshift tombs within their home address,”   
   Specialist Prosecutor for the Crown Prosecution Service Nicola Rice said.   
   “She spent the next four years manipulating and lying to family members,   
   medical staff, financial institutions, and the police, spending her   
   parent’s money and accruing large debts in their name.”   
      
   In September 2023, the couple’s doctor finally raised concerns — prompting   
   a law enforcement investigation that led to their daughter’s arrest. She   
   pleaded guilty to two counts of murder in July.   
      
   In the years following the murders but before the arrests, the killer   
   “told persistent lies” about her parents’ whereabouts, according to   
   police. She repeatedly canceled family plans — telling doctors and   
   relatives the pair were not well, on holiday, or other long trips.   
      
   Police said the two murders and their concomitant coverups involved “vast   
   levels of deceit, betrayal and fraud” and were carried out “on a shocking   
   and monumental scale.”   
      
   Finally, after John McCullough failed to pick up several medications and   
   make several appointments, his doctor sounded the alarm.   
      
   A missing persons investigation ensued.   
      
   When contacted by police, Virginia McCullough initially said her parents   
   would return the next month. Police decided not to wait — using their   
   “powers” to enter the residence in the Pump Hill neighborhood of   
   Chelmsford where the family lived and died.   
      
   “McCullough was the sole occupant and instantly confessed to officers that   
   her parents’ bodies were in the house and that she had killed them,”   
   police wrote in the press release. “Documents found at the property showed   
   she had run up large debts on credit cards in her parents’ names. After   
   their deaths, she continued to spend their pensions.”   
      
   During her sentencing, the judge said a life sentence was the only   
   possible option for the admitted, convicted killer, according to a   
   courtroom report by United Kingdom public broadcaster BBC.   
      
   “There is a single sentence that can be passed upon you in these   
   circumstances,” Judge Christopher Morgan intoned.   
      
   Law enforcement savaged the killer and remarked upon the pain her actions   
   had caused the victims’ families.   
      
   In a statement, Detective Superintendent Rob Kirby said:   
      
   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.   
      
   The killer’s siblings also released a statement — fondly remembering their   
   parents as individuals and as the loving couple they were.   
      
   “Our Dad was caring and hardworking and he had a passion for education and   
   writing,” the statement reads. “He worked tirelessly in his career in   
   university education, which spanned many years. “Dad enjoyed lots of   
   hobbies, with particular favorites being golf and snooker. As we think of   
   Dad, we remember the numerous jokes he used to tell us and the laughs he   
   gave us. Our Mum was kind, caring and thoughtful. Mum delighted in her   
   grandchildren. She had friends from around the world through her penfriend   
   hobby, many of whom she had written to for several decades. Mum had a   
   passion for history, and maintained a keen interest in the royal family.   
   Mum and Dad loved their trips to the seaside together, where they enjoyed   
   many walks and visited lots of different attractions. Their love for the   
   seaside was so great, they were hoping to move to the coast in their   
   retirement years.”
