Just caught up on todays trial"Woman tells murder trial man on bike followed her on day Ashling Murphy's body found.
A woman has described being followed by a man on a bicycle in Tullamore, Co Offaly, as she was out on a walk on 12 January 2022, less than two hours before the body of school teacher Ashling Murphy was discovered in a ditch beside the Grand Canal.
Ann Marie Kelly was giving evidence at the trial of 33-year-old Jozef Puska, who has denied the murder of Ms Murphy on 12 January last year."

Firstly, huge respect to Ann Marie Kelly for standing up and giving evidence - that can’t have been easy for her as she’s probably thinking that Ashling could have very easily been her.
I wonder what it was what stopped him from attacking her? Possibly that she had a dog with her? Or more likely because he knew she was aware of his presence and he wanted to launch a surprise attack in order to minimise the risk of fighting back?
