As people across Ireland and beyond mourn the horrific murder of Irish woman Ashling Murphy this week, her final post to Facebook has been revealed.

The post, which was shared in July 2020, was a clip of Ashling and her sister playing the concertina and the fiddle together in a kitchen, accompanied by the caption "Happiest when..."

Watch the video here:

The 23-year-old primary school teacher was killed on the afternoon of 12th January when she was out for a run in Tullamore, County Offaly, Ireland.

Vigils have been held across the world to remember Ashling, as campaigners call on their governments to do more to combat gender-based violence.

The young woman was remembered for her kindness and her love of music.

Following Ashling's funeral at St Brigid's Church, Mountbolus this Tuesday, her final post to Facebook before her untimely death has been revealed.

Hundreds of mourners were present at Ashling's funeral on Tuesday, including President Michael D Higgins, Taoiseach Micheal Martin, and Ashling's pupils from Durrow National School, who formed a guard of honour.

Ashling was remembered as a woman who "lived the short years given to her to the full, who developed her talents, who reached out to others, who made a difference, who brought happiness and who was loved."

Following her funeral, 31-year-old Jozef Puska was charged with Ashling's murder.

Mr Puska was heckled as he was taken from a Garda car to a special sitting of Tullamore District Court on Wednesday evening.

A large crowd gathered outside the courthouse as he was taken away by gardai (Irish police).

Detective Sergeant David Scahill gave evidence of the arrest and charge.

He told the court the accused was charged with murder at 7.42pm on Wednesday.

Det Sgt Scahill told the court that when he was charged with the offence, Puska replied: “No.”

Mr Puska will remain in custody before he appears at Cloverhill District Court on Tuesday, 26th January.
