Murderer Stephen McCullagh has been aptly described as “a monster hiding in plain sight”.
A week on from his conviction there has been a lot of reaction to the the nerd-culture YouTuber’s conviction of murdering Natalie McNally.
He denied the killing, but the jury unanimously found him guilty in a matter of hours. He has yet to be given his tariff, but Natalie’s family says he should never be let out.
They say he is simply “too dangerous to let out on the street”.
Meanwhile, the Sunday Life has revealed that a film made by McCullagh as a student chillingly foretold the murder and how he pretended to be one of our journalists to find out what evidence the cops had on him.
The Sunday Life’s Angela Davison joins Ciarán Dunbar with some of the stories which could not be told whilst the trial was ongoing and what has emerged since McCullagh’s conviction.

Through viral clips, podcasts, and paywalled courses, these figures are shaping how a generation of young men understand masculinity, women, and power. It’s a space where dissatisfaction is reframed as truth and where misogyny isn’t just normalised - it’s monetised.
Chloe McPolin speaks to Crime World’s Roisin Gorman to pull back the curtains on Louis Theroux’s documentary Inside the Manosphere - one of the most concerning subcultures yet.
