00:00She is an intelligent manipulator who chose to kill her parents callously
00:05without a thought for them or those who continue to suffer as a result of their
00:11loss. The details of this case shock and horrify even the most experienced of
00:18murder detectives let alone members of the public. It therefore follows that the
00:24wider family of John and Lois understandably could never have guessed
00:29or anticipated that McCulloch would be capable of undertaking these murders
00:35before committing herself to this level of deceit. They have been left utterly
00:41devastated by the circumstances of this case and they continue to feel the loss
00:47of John and Lois each and every day.
