Jozef Puska tells trial he was stabbed by man who then attacked Ashling Murphy

Jozef Puska has told his own murder trial that he was stabbed by a man who he then saw attack Ashling Murphy.

Under cross examination he later said he had lied to gardai on a number of occasions and that he had asked someone to burn the clothes he was wearing that day. He said the man attacked him, that he didn’t know him, and that the attacker started shouting at him, before pushing him to the ground. Mr Puska today told the trial that he had stood up and pulled his leg really hard, and that he then shouted - and Ms Stack started running.

Asked about his next movements, Mr Puska said he “jumped towards the field” and continued towards the town through fields.Mr Bowman then asked the accused about whether his alleged attacker had said anything to him. Mr Puska said when he woke up he saw lights and beep sounds, and he went away from them because he was “scared.”

"I stayed with my parents. I cannot recall everything. They were trying to ask me what happened to me. I didn't want to tell them,” Mr Puska said. He said he recalls that on the first day, the 13th of January, that “investigators” were talking to him.
