Ashling Murphy’s boyfriend described her as a “vibrant, intelligent and highly-motivated woman”.
The family of murdered Irish schoolteacher Ashling Murphy has said she was subjected to incomprehensible violence by a “vicious monster”.Ms Murphy, 23, was killed while exercising on a canal path in Tullamore, Co Offaly, on the afternoon of January 12 last year.
“The judicial process cannot bring our darling Ashling back, nor can it heal our wounds, but we are relieved that this verdict delivers justice.As her sister Amy, father Ray, and mother solemnly listened on, Ms Murphy’s boyfriend Ryan Casey thanked police, the prosecution and the Irish public for support the family received.
“Her life had a huge impact on so many of those around her and she was the epitome of a perfect role model for every little girl to look up to and strive to be. The court heard that while Puska was in hospital in the days after the murder, he told investigating gardai that he had killed Ms Murphy. The convicted murderer later said he did not recall making the statement and told gardai he did not “know anything” about the murder while being interviewed after his arrest.
