The Ashling Murphy murder trial began last week at Dublin’s Central Criminal Court. The 23-year-old teacher was killed in 2022 while out for a run on the banks of the Grand Canal near her home in Tullamore, Co Offaly, on a bright January afternoon.
Last week, the nine men and three women of the jury listened as the prosecution laid out its case against Jozef Puska, a 33-year-old Slovakian national. He has pleaded not guilty to murder.
As the trial starts its second week, Irish Times legal affairs correspondent Mary Carolan reports on what the court has heard so far. Presented by Bernice Harrison. Produced by Suzanne Brennan.
