Today, the defence called its final witness, UK-based Dr Johann Grundlingh, who questioned the validity of Mr Puska telling Gardaí he killed Ms Murphy while he was in hospital.Mr Greaney explained Dr Grundlingh was given Mr Puska’s medical records from he was treated in St James’ Hospital last January for stab wounds, as well as Garda record statements.
“The jury was told Mr Puska had surgery the night before, and the doctor raised concerns about the effect of that surgery on him, as well as the unfamiliar environment and the language barrier.Dr Grundlingh said he would have assessed Mr Puska before he was interviewed by Gardaí to see if he was able to answer questions properly, which did not happen in St James’.Mr Greaney said the witness also assessed the painkillers Mr Puska was given before his interview with Gardaí.
