Pregnant Woman Stabbed to Death in Lurgan Home
Natalie, 32, was brutally stabbed in her Silverwood Green home nearly three weeks ago. Shockingly, she was 15 weeks pregnant when she died.
Police Hunt Man Seen on CCTV Near Crime Scene
Detective Chief Inspector Neil McGuinness says the investigation is ongoing. “I believe Natalie’s killer is someone she knew and trusted enough to let into her home,” he said.
Police have released CCTV footage showing a man carrying a rucksack near Natalie’s home at 8:52pm on Sunday, 18th December. He is seen leaving at around 9:30pm wearing trainers with light soles.
“We’re desperate to identify this man. If you recognise him, please do the right thing and come forward. Do you want to protect someone who could kill a woman and her unborn child?” McGuinness urged.
Community Appeal and Investigation Update
The detective appealed for anyone who knew Natalie, her friends, or anyone who visited her house to contact the police. He added, “Information from friends, acquaintances, or even social media contacts could be crucial.”
Since the murder, officers have carried out 200 house-to-house inquiries, seized over 3,000 hours of CCTV footage, and sent 50 items for forensic tests.
