Jozef Puska’s two brothers, who were last month convicted of withholding crucial information about the murder of school teacher Ashling Murphy, and their wives – who burned the killer’s bloodstained clothes – now accept the jury’s verdict and will not appeal their convictions, the Central Criminal Court has heard.

Lubomir Puska Jnr (aged 38) and Marek Puska (aged 36), along with their wives Viera Gaziova (aged 40) and Jozefina Grundzova (aged 32) appeared before the court on Monday, where Ms Justice Caroline Biggs fixed a date of October 7 for sentencing in the case.
