PSNI /Family handoutPolice have renewed their appeal for information about the murder of Natalie McNally in County Armagh.
The 32 year old was 15 weeks pregnant when she was stabbed in her home in the Silverwood Green area of Lurgan.
It is believed that she died on the night of Sunday 18 December.
Police have previously released CCTV footage showing a suspect entering Silverwood Green, while the charity, Crimestoppers, has offered a £20,000 reward for information.
Several arrests have been made in connection with Ms McNally’s death but, so far, nobody has been charged. Police have previously said she may have known her killer.
On Friday, Det Ch Insp Neil McGuinness said: “Our investigation into what was a violent murder, remains ongoing, and we are continuing to appeal to anyone with any information which may assist us, to come forward.
“Last week, we released CCTV footage, which shows a man, carrying a rucksack, arriving at Silverwood Green on Sunday night at 20:52 GMT. Then, at 21:00, we see him walking out of Silverwood Green.
“He appears to be wearing white footwear, possibly trainers.

Natalie’s funeral service was held at her parents’ home in Craigavon on Monday morning.
Last Friday, relatives, friends and neighbours released balloons and observed a silence during a vigil.
Ms McNally’s brother, Declan, thanked people for the comfort and support they had shown the family.
“Please, anybody who has any information whatsoever, please bring it to the police,” he urged.
Another sibling, Niall, had earlier appealed for her killer to confess.
