"At the precise time of the murder, McCullagh, known online as 'votesaxon07', appeared to be drinking alcohol and livestreaming himself playing computer games to an online audience."
"He introduced the game Grand Theft Auto as one of his childhood favourites, and as he poured himself a Guinness, joked he would be drinking and driving, but added: In the game by the way, I'm not leaving the house tonight."
"The stream went on with McCullagh saying he had not had a drink in months, before drinking a large portion, adding: I could drink that stuff like it's water."
"As the stream went on, McCullagh said: I'm a very angry gamer by the way."
