Ashling Murphy Murder Trial Day 13
Ashling Murphy Murder Trial
Wednesday, 8 November 2023 - 11 minutes
The judge in the Ashling Murphy murder trial will continue his charge to the jury this morning.
33-year-old Jozef Puska, of Lynally Grove, Mucklagh, Co Offaly, denies murdering the schoolteacher in Tullamore on January 12th 2022.
Mr Justice Tony Hunt told the jury to convict Jozef Puska they must be satisfied the version of events put to them by the prosecution had been proved beyond a reasonable doubt.
He added that if they considered Jozef Puska's description that he was attacked by a masked man who also killed Ashling Murphy was reasonably possible he said they had an obligation to acquit.
Yesterday, the jury heard the closing statements for the prosecution and the defence, Frank Greaney was in Court for Midlands 103 and has been speaking with Sinéad Hubble about the remarks from prosecutor Anne-Marie Lawlor.
