Thousands gather in County Offaly to pay respects to 23-year-old who was killed while out jogging
The funeral of the 23-year-old teacher Ashling Murphy is taking place in Ireland as neighbours talked of a “blackness” that has descended on the rural townland where she was killed last week.
Outside the church in Mount Bolus in County Offaly there was a sense of profound sadness and bewilderment as friends, family and pupils gathered to pay their respects in this community convulsed by her death.
