BBC News NI south east reporter
Barrister for the prosecution Natalie Pinkerton opposed bail on three fronts - a perceived risk of reoffending, a flight risk and the potential for interfering with an ongoing investigation. Text messages between the two highlighted this, with Mr McCullagh sending a message at 17:57 GMT stating: "Right I'm away to stream the night away. Wish me luck."However, the court heard that it has subsequently been established that this broadcast was not live but rather pre-recorded.
The man, who was wearing a hood, snood or scarf and gloves and carrying a shopping bag, then travelled to Lurgan by bus.It was also stated that in one section of CCTV gathered on the bus, a portion of the man's eyes and nose area are visible which they argued are consistent with Mr McCullagh. The man was then seen leaving the area at 21:31 GMT having changed his clothes, walked to Carnegie Street in Lurgan and got into a taxi.
The court heard that three minutes later, at 23:16 GMT, Mr McCullagh's mobile phone was activated for the first time since 17:57 GMT.The court heard that at 00:17 GMT the following morning, CCTV footage showed Mr McCullagh standing at the front of the premises putting bins out.The prosecution alleged that Mr McCullagh purchased, changed and disposed of the clothes.
