James Cox More than 400 people attended a mass in Co Offaly on Thursday evening to remember Ashling Murphy. Yesterday (January 12th) marked one year since the 23-year-old teacher was killed in Tullamore. Hundreds turned out at St Brigid's Church in Mountbolus to attend the first anniversary mass. Traditional music was played throughout the ceremony, by a group Ms Murphy was once part of. She was murdered on that day last year, during a run along the Grand Canal in Tullamore. Just before 4pm, around 100 people attended a short vigil at the canal, commemorating Ms Murphy's last moments.
