Over a thousand attend Ashling vigil

Over a thousand people attended a vigil at Mullingar Town Park this afternoon (Saturday) in honour of the 23-year old Tullamore schoolteacher Ashling Murphy who was murdered while out jogging alongside the Grand Canal outside Tullamore last Wednesday.

The atmosphere was solemn and sad as participants thought of the talented youn musician and camogie-loving young woman who died in what is believed to be a random attack.

Ashling, who taught at Durrow NS had family connections in the Ballymore area.
