Jozef Puska guilty of murder of Ashling Murphy (Mod notes and threadbans in op)

That monster could be a considered good looking guy 'right swipe' and text his way

Same as going into a night club with the intention of using physical attraction to lure someone into a situation where they can be attacked. Going on dating apps carries a minute risk of being targeted, same as meeting someone in a pub / club. You're way off the mark here, not even on the same continent. This sort of thing went on long before dating apps, have a read about how Jeffrey Dahmer targeted his victims, he went out 'On the Pull' as you so eloquently put it.

Ya sorry. Overstepped the mark on that one. It's a reasonable hypothesis.

It could quite possibly be the Italian Mafia.

well then he’s talking out of both sides of his mouth as if he is criticising the defendant and the manner he defended himself, he’s saying in another breath “ even people like this are entitled to make a defence such as this “ …His defence was obviously being enabled by his defence team… so criticism falls on them by proxy

Ah god will you shtap! Killers got fan mail long before Netflix too. There will be no Netflix series about this, there is nothing about this story that is remotely mysterious or usable material for a Netflix show. Josef Puska was the only credible suspect, confessed to the murder and changed his story for the trial. A trial where the evidence was clearly overwhelming as to his guilt, given the jury only needed 2 hours of deliberation to reach a unanimous verdict.

You're verging on 'Old Man Yells at Cloud' territory now.

5 bedroom house

5 children’s allowance payments a month

1 unemployment payment a week for the wife

1 disability pension (33 years of age) per week for himself

2 million to keep him in jail for the next 20 years

That quote from the father about not hearing the music again really hit home for me, such a simple sum up of the devastation and future ahead of them.

with this and the sligo case I would prefer if there was someone in charge in finding out how it all came about post-conviction

If this story didn't have such a terrible ending to it, it'd be almost laughable. He seems to be somebody who broadly concocts a lie, then trips himself up with the finer details. Unless he had a cheap old phone it'd charge up in no time at home. And if he was planning on meeting his brother, leaving his phone at home sounds like madness. I've never heard of somebody needing a sharp knife for a bicycle chain either. The phone and knife angles stink to the high heavens.

From the way some of the court journalists describe him, he sounds like an arrogant jerk who isn't half as clever as he thinks he is. I think he underestimated the number of CCTV cameras around Tullamore and didn't put any great thought into how he'd cover his tracks. Then he started drawing attention to himself by the way he was acting, almost as if he didn't have any great plan on what to do next. Even when he did get around to attacking poor Ashling, it was hopelessly inept. Sadly for her, he wasn't inept enough but he really was stupid on so many levels.

What frustrated me about the case was how quickly the media jumped on this to 'make a point', and have little to no care for Ms Murphy's family or friends. Assumptions were made, ridiculous statements were made to the media or the radio. We had presenters 'crying' on their shows over this senseless act. And that was before Mr Puska was found and charged, then suddenly the media went very, very quiet.

On the news this evening, her brother pleaded with the media to give them privacy at this time. I remember last year, how the family had little to no privacy to try come to terms with her murder (as much as one could ever make sense of something like this). The cameras were there at almost every opportunity. I've lost family members to illness, old age and so forth. I would be in a horrible mental state if I was followed around by cameras, journalists and the like whilst I was mourning a loved one. When you take into account the circumstances of her death, I cannot fathom the absolute hell that was compounded upon the nightmare they were already suffering. But the media were out to 'make a point'.

Even today, with the verdict reached, they were still showing clips of the vigils, and the 'this is a watershed moment'... yet nothing about the family. It really compounded my opinion that media outlets had little to no regard for her family, her boyfriend, and her loved ones. It was sickening.

She was a person, who's life was taken in a barbaric act of violence. She was not an agenda.

sorry, I know its a huge generalisation and I am wrong for that. But the lies in the last week about Puska trying to help Aisling must have put those parents through hell, can you imagine if it was your daughter? This is a new kind of murder....a random woman , in broad daylight in a busy area... it is very rare here.

Its something women are going to have to be alert to in the future in this country where you no longer know the people around you. And I won't take that back. This was Co Offaly on a popular walking route in the afternoon, not the capital city . This is a newer brazen kind of attack, not someone being followed home after a night out.

Are we going to have to get used to these kind of random attacks in Ireland from now on with an ever increasing population of people who have different views on women, who are not used to seeing women in the kind of clothes we see as normal, for sports, for going out, who see them as available to randomly attack as they go for a run
