Natalie McNally's family appeal for public to use online portal to help investigation to help investigation

The family of Natalie McNally have appealed for the public to submit information about her murder to an online portal set up by police.

The Major Incident Police Portal has been set up for people to share information, images and video regarding the 32-year-old's murder.

She was found dead in her Silverwood Green home in Lurgan on 19 December, where it is believed she was stabbed the day before.

She was 15 weeks pregnant at the time of her death, with the family since naming her unborn baby Dean.

"We just need everything and everyone to share the information they have," a family member told Belfast Live.

"Anything, anything they know could make the difference and help us get justice for Natalie and wee baby Dean.

"This portal, it's all anonymous, so people aren't going to be contacted by police if they're fearful of that.

"They can just put their information up there and no-one will be contacting them about it, we need people to help us."

They added that it has obviously been a very traumatic time for the family but that they were determined to seek justice.

"We're doing ok, it's very difficult, but you just need to take each day as it comes," they said.

"It's nearly hour by hour, you don't know what's going to happen or what's going to change.

"We just have to keep strong for Natalie and get her the justice she deserves."

They also said it was important for the wider public that Natalie's killer was caught.

"As well as this being for Natalie, it's for everyone out there.

"We don't know who this person is and we need them off the streets and we need them locked up and paying for what they've done to Natalie and our family.

"We would appeal to the person responsible too, to just find it in their heart somewhere to do the right thing and hand themselves in."

The portal can be found here.
