Police have confirmed that a Co Armagh woman found dead in her home on Monday had been stabbed to death and was 15 weeks pregnant
Detectives in Lurgan have begun a murder inquiry and say 32-year-old Natalie McNally may have known her killer.
Detective Chief Inspector John Caldwell said a post mortem had found evidence of defensive injuries on the victim. "She was murdered at her home in the Silverwood Green area of the town, and evidence now suggests that she was murdered on the night of Sunday 18 December," he said. "Officers were called to the property along with colleagues from the Northern Ireland Ambulance Service. Sadly Natalie was pronounced dead at the scene."This fatal attack, which happened in her own home, has therefore resulted in a double tragedy, the death of a mother to be, along with her unborn baby."
Police are asking for help in tracing the victim's movements between 4pm on Sunday and 10pm on Monday.
