EXCLUSIVE: Remorseless killer Puska is learning English in prison, where he's 'piled on the weight' and is housed with the 'worst of the worst' sex offenders
Monster Jozef Puska has ‘piled on the weight’ and is learning how to speak English behind bars, the Irish Mirror can reveal.
READ MORE: Jozef Puska confident he'll be back on streets by summer despite conviction for Ashling Murphy murder It comes after his murder trial in which the court heard he had been living in Ireland since 2013 - but that he had poor English and was in need of a translator throughout. Sources say the deluded killer, who took the witness stand in his high-profile murder trial, has also drastically changed in appearance - gaining weight behind bars.
In November 2023, Puska was convicted of the murder of Ashling Murphy - a crime which shocked the entire nation. Puska brutally stabbed Ms Murphy 12 times and sliced her neck in a random and shocking attack while she was out for a run at the canal in Tullamore on January 12, 2022. In her own victim impact statement, which was read out by family liaison officer Sergeant Lucy McLoughlin, Ashling’s mother Kathleen told of a heart-breaking final conversation she had with her daughter on the day she was killed - warning her not to go and run by the canal.
Ashling’s sister Amy, meanwhile, said she is haunted by the thought that no one was able to save her sister - and how she fought for her life. Speaking directly to Puska, who refused to look at her, she said: “I agonise over whether you had already inflicted your first blow before she was hurled off the canal pavement. Had you time to place your bike down into the ditch as you knew she had already sustained a fatal injury and the rest was yet to come.
