Jozef Puska loses bid to backdate life sentence for Tullamore murder

Ashling Murphy, a 23-year-old primary school teacher (some reports say 22), was fatally assaulted while jogging along the Grand Canal at Cappincur, Tullamore, Co Offaly, on 12 January 2022. Jozef Puska, a Slovakian national whose age is reported variously as 31 to 35, was arrested on 18 January 2022 and charged with her murder the next day. He was sent forward for trial in April 2022, and a jury at the Central Criminal Court found him guilty of murder on 9 November 2023, with a mandatory life sentence imposed on 17 November 2023. He abandoned his conviction appeal on 10 July 2026, and on 16 July 2026 the Court of Appeal refused to backdate his sentence earlier than the November 2023 verdict.
