Disturbing details from the Puska trial – An eyewitness has told the trial of Jozef Puska’s family members how Irish school teacher Ashling Murphy was “kicking out hard” as she struggled with her murderer, who seemed angry he’d been “interrupted”. The trial also heard today from Jenna Stack, who saw Ms Murphy, a 23-year-old schoolteacher, fighting for her life having suffered multiple stab wounds to the neck. Ms Stack told prosecution counsel Anne-Marie Lawlor SC that she was running with her friend, Aoife Marron, along the canal towpath near Cappincur Bridge in Tullamore on January 12, 2022 when she noticed a distinctive, luminous green bicycle in the hedgerow. She thought it unusual to see a nice bike discarded on the bank, so she stopped for a moment before running on. A few metres further along the towpath, she heard a loud rustling noise from the hedgerow and stopped again. Ms Marron shouted down, but there was no reply besides the “loud rustling” from the dense thicket and brambles, Ms Stack said. The witness stepped closer and saw a man’s back. She asked him what he was doing, and when he turned to face her, she noticed a woman on the ground. Ms Stack said: “She was kicking her legs, that was the sound we had heard. She was raising her legs and kicking out really hard.” Ms Stack told the man to “get off her”, but he shouted back through gritted teeth and in a foreign accent, “get away”. His facial expression seemed angry, she said, “angry that he had been interrupted”. Ms Stack thought he was going to rape the woman. She added: “He made a sudden movement, maybe to frighten us. I knew the girl was struggling and in danger and we were very frightened.” Both of Puska’s brothers and their wives are on trial this week for covering up the murder. The entire country should be talking about this trial. Share far and wide!
