Overview

• Paramount Plus released Confessions of a Parent Killer on June 12, featuring Ginny McCullough’s previously unseen letters.
• In her letters McCullough describes a strict and cold upbringing before detailing how she concocted a lethal drug cocktail in June 2019.
• Investigators confirmed she poisoned her father and fatally attacked her mother with a hammer and knife, then used DIY materials to build a crypt and hid the bodies in the family home.
• A missing persons inquiry by the family GP prompted police to raid the Great Baddow house in September 2023, where McCullough immediately confessed.
• Sentenced in October 2024 to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 36 years, McCullough’s account raises questions about psychological factors and potential financial motives.
