Jozef Puska, 31, has been charged with the murder of Irish primary school teacher, Ashling Murphy. The crime was committed on Tuesday in Dublin’s Grand Canal. The man’s arrest was accompanied by large crowds of supporters, who heckled him as he made his way to court. The Slovakian was remanded to Cloverhill Prison on the same day as the case was brought to court.
