‘When are we allowed to feel safe?’: Shock following killing of Ashling Murphy

Ashling Murphy was killed while out jogging in broad daylight.

As flowers and a candle were left on the bank of the Grand Canal in Tullamore close to where young woman Ashling Murphy was killed yesterday, one local resident said it is a sad day for the women of Ireland.

Tina Stones, who works in the corner shop nearby, said: “A sad day for women, sad that you can't go for a walk in broad daylight and feel safe. She was after working a hard day and never made it home.
