She said it almost sounded like a sharp intake of breath, like a scream.

And Miss Henry said she also saw a shadow which looked like a big man or a tall woman, but they were broad.

And she said the sound that she heard sounded female.

Yeah, we had all of the McCulloch family and people might have noticed there was a dip in reporting during the week.

So I can just explain now because we can talk about that now, what the reason for that was.

When members of a family or a group are given evidence at a criminal trial like this, they have to leave the room immediately.

They sit in the public gallery throughout the trial and the McNally family have great support and the public gallery is always pretty packed.

But they have to leave while the other members of the family are given evidence and that's for obvious reasons so that they don't contaminate each other's evidence or anything like that.

But because there were so many members of the McNally family given evidence and it was going to take two days for that evidence to be delivered, the judge had ruled it was safer that if we did not report on any of the family's evidence until all members of the McNally family had given evidence...

And so that happened, then it took two days of evidence, that included Natalie's father, who was the first one of the family to give evidence, Natalie's mother, and then two of her brothers, and as you say, her cousin.

We heard that after Stephen McCullough was arrested on the evening that he claimed the Monday that he said he found Natalie's body, he went to the house because he was concerned, he hadn't heard from her.

And he found her body.

He was then arrested as a suspect.

But quite soon after that, the police de-suspected him.

They said that he was no longer a suspect.

He was now a witness.

And so Natalie's cousin said that he had been to the family home that on January the 7th, because after this, the court heard that McCullough would call quite frequently to the McNally family home.

And so on January the 7th, he said McCullough was at the McNally family home.

And he said that he and McCullough went to the back garden of the house to smoke.

And so he went out and joined him.
