Jozef Puska denies murdering Ashling Murphy The man accused of murdering Irish teacher Ashling Murphy has told jurors he was stabbed by a masked knifeman who then attacked her. Jozef Puska, 33, is said to have killed Ms Murphy, 23, while she exercised on a canal path in Tullamore, Co Offaly, on January 12 last year. Jurors at Dublin’s Central Criminal Court have been told the father-of five dragged Ashling off the walkway into some dense hedges where he stabbed her 12 times.
That man stabbed me again, that was the moment when he stood up and he walked or went towards that woman. ‘While he went towards the woman, I stayed on the floor lying down and then somehow they disappeared among the bushes. ‘I didn’t notice where exactly because I was trying to stand up from the floor.
