How a seemingly perfect alibi was dismantled by cyber crime expertsBy Rebecca Black, Press AssociationIt was conceived to be the perfect alibi placing Stephen McCullagh almost 20 miles away at his home in Lisburn while his pregnant partner Natalie McNally was murdered at her home in Lurgan just a week before Christmas in 2022.

Neary’s conversion attempt was off-target but St Mary’s were swiftly on the offensive again, with Christle feeding Seán Thornton. Photograph: Ben Brady/InphoThe first-half action wasn’t quite done, however, with St Mary’s camping themselves on their opponents’ line.
