A bunch of red rose placed on the bridge across the Grand Canal in Tullamore, Co Offaly, where primary school teacher Ashling Murphy was found dead after going for a run

Ms Murphy, 23, was killed while exercising along a canal path in Tullamore, Co Offaly, at about 3.30pm on January 12 last year.The court had previously been told that Puska admitted killing Ms Murphy while speaking to gardai in St James’ Hospital in Dublin on the evening of January 14. Dr Grundlingh told the court that a combination of having had surgery, a language barrier, of being in an unfamiliar environment and being given the drug oxycodone could cause confusion or distress.

He said that, although there was no note in Puska’s medical records of him being confused or disorientated, Dr Grundlingh said that, if he was Puska’s doctor, he would need to see him in person to “actively exclude” that he was not suffering from a subtle type of confusion. When asked about Professor Michael Ryan, Dr Grundlingh agreed with the description of him as an internationally renowned expert in toxicology and pharmacology.
