Stephen McCullagh has been sentenced to 31 years for the "cold-blooded and calculated" murder of Natalie McNally.
The 36 year-old of Woodland Gardens, Lisburn, was found guilty by a jury at Belfast Crown Court in March 2026.
Natalie McNally was 15 weeks pregnant when she was murdered at her home in Lurgan in December 2022.
Passing sentence, trial judge Mr Justice Kinney said McCullagh’s culpability had been assessed as “extremely high”, describing the murder as a “brutal and frenzied attack”.
