Detectives say Ross McCullam had the potential to kill again after he brutally murdered his girlfriend
There he would drink large volumes of coke, smoke, play video games and watch pornography.They said they were stunned when he revealed he was in a relationship "with a girl called Meg" from work.Leicestershire PoliceA doorbell camera captures the moment Megan Newborough left her home in Nuneaton for the last time to visit McCullam
He cleaned up the blood in the living room - later telling his parents a damp patch on the carpet was where he had spilled a drink - then bundled Megan's body into the passenger side of her own Citroen C3. The apparently tender messages were a far cry from many McCullam had sent to Megan in the days leading up to her death, which prosecutors said became increasingly inappropriate, crude and distorted, outlining his sexual fantasies.Here he abandoned the car and discarded both his and Megan's bloodstained clothes in nearby bins.
The night after the murder - Saturday 7 August - he was out drinking when they arrived to search his home.McCullam initially told an officer on the phone that Megan had been safe and well the night before when she had left him and that he had been trying to contact her.At this point, McCullam revealed to them Megan was dead.Officers said the spot McCullam had chosen to hide Megan's body was so remote that, had he not disclosed the location, she may not have been found for months.
"I genuinely believe, having investigated this from the offset, that Ross enjoyed killing Megan," she said."His actions afterwards certainly didn't show any remorse.
