The murder of Ashling Murphy

This week Sarah and Trina are joined by the Deputy Editor of the Tullamore Tribune Gearoid Keegan as they examine the murder of schoolteacher and talented musician Ashling Murphy.

We discuss the recent trial of Jozef Puska, his murder conviction and his life sentence.

From a local journalist's perspective, Gearoid takes us through what happened on the day Ashling was attacked and killed by the vicious predator as she exercised by the canal in Tullamore, County Offaly in January 2022.

He recounts how the circumstances of her murder brought his town and the nation to a standstill.

We also examine the investigation, how her attacker was tracked down and brought to justice.

This episode pays tribute to the much loved and talented Ashling who was robbed from her loved ones in such a monstrous way.
