All Rise: The Ashling Murphy Murder Trial

Today, the jury in the Ashling Murphy murder trial was told Jozef Puska has provided an ‘unequivocal structure of lies and mistruths’.

However, the defence has told jurors that they must be ‘very careful’ in assessing the evidence provided to them in this case

Later this afternoon, Mr Justice Tony Hunt told the jurors that if they believe Jozef Puska’s version of events - that he was attacked by a masked man who also killed Ashling Murphy - then they must acquit.

Mr Puska, who’s 33 with an address of Lynally Grove, Mucklagh, Co Offaly, denies murder.
