A jury could begin considering their verdict this Wednesday in the trial of Jozef Puska, who denies murdering 23-year-old school teacher Ashling Murphy by stabbing her repeatedly in the neck.

Mr Puska's defence finished their evidence on Monday, having called Dr Johann Grundlingh, an expert in accident and emergency and intensive care, who said he had concerns about the reliability of Jozef Puska's alleged confession to murdering Ms Murphy.
