Jozef Puska appeared to have stab wounds when paramedics called to apartment in Crumlin the day after Ashling Murphy’s death, court told
A woman has told a murder trial jury she believed a man was following her “for quite a bit of time” while she was walking in Tullamore and along the Grand Canal on the day Ashling Murphy was killed.

He was wearing a dark zip up jacket, of slim build, about five foot seven or eight and had a shaved head, black stubble, was “very distinctive”, with “really dark” eyes, dark eyebrows and sallow skin. Her initial thought was he was “a foreign guy”. As she passed the white van, she saw a man whom she thought might be a farmer, aged in his fifties or sixties, and they said hello. She continued to walk fast, stopped for her dog to follow or tie her lace, and the man with the bike went in front of her, walking his bike very slowly.
She was thinking she just wanted to get away from him and also thought “maybe he’s just foreign and he’s lost”, she said. She was not sure if Mr Puska was smoking but did not think he was. Conor Mackey said they were told someone had been stabbed and were led to a bedroom in the apartment where a man appeared to be in pain.
Rian Finch, a paramedic with the NAS, said she attended at the apartment in Crumlin sometime between 11am and noon on January 13th 2022. She had no active communication with the patient who was moved, using a chair, into the ambulance outside, she said. She “got a fright” because the man was in dark clothing. He was “acting kind of suspicious”, “tucked in at a weird angle and acting weird”, she said. She and the man “locked eyes” and he “looked shocked, he looked lost”.
