Five pictures of tragic Ashling Murphy were held by relatives in court last night as a Slovakian man was charged with her murder.
Jozef Puska was brought before a special sitting of Tullamore District Court over the killing of the 23-year-old as she went for a jog along the Grand Canal in the Co Offaly town last Wednesday.
When the 31-year-old entered the room before the hearing, relatives of the teacher stood at the back holding five pictures of her, including ones of her at school when she was younger and playing GAA. Judge Catherine Staines heard from Det Sgt David Scahill who gave evidence of arrest, charge and caution.
