She was going for a run RIP Ashling

I just feel devastated about this! Ashling Murphy, age 23, went for a run after work yesterday and didn’t come home. She was murdered by a man on a busy stretch of a canal in Tullamore, Ireland, near where I live. It seems the attacker didn’t know her, but was known to police. He’s been arrested after two women saw the attack and stopped it, unfortunately too late. It was 4pm! A bright evening. She should have been safe!
I’m just so upset and angry. She was a newly qualified teacher to a class of 7 year olds! Those poor children trying to make sense of this when we can’t.
I walk that canal regularly. Many friends do. We should feel safe.
Sorry, no reason for this post - I just needed to
#shewasgoingforarun
UPDATE: The man arrested has been released and has been eliminated from the investigation. So, her killer is still at large 😢

How sad, what is this world coming to when people are not safe just going about their business.

I’ve written and deleted so many times because actually I’m speechless

Heartbroken for her family and for her, she didn’t deserve this.

And that prince nob taking over the news, pfft.

I run on my own all the time, we shouldn’t have to be questioning our route, the time we run, and if we should be going solo.

Don’t know what else to say to be honest

So so sad

I’m absolutely horrified at the amount of stories in the news recently of young girls being murdered. There’s also the story of the poor girl who was found drowned in the pond. Whole lives ahead of them. Why do people feel the need to do this? Heartbreaking for the poor families.💔

Truly terrible, her poor friends and family.

Even more women having to modify and restrict their behaviour.

Every man is a threat. And yes, I do mean you. You will at sometime have made a woman feel uncomfortable just be being there - she will have crossed the road, or phoned a friend, or popped into a shop to get away from you etc etc. It's life, and it's crap.

So very tragic
Such a beautiful girl with her life ahead now taken so violently.

Just to point out the man arrested was questioned and has been released and deemed not a suspect according to local news.
Even more alarming that her killer appears to be on the loose now

Truly horrific.
A young 18 year old girl was murdered in my village a few years ago. Just finished her last A level exam and walked through a local beauty spot to get lunch before she met her friends. It was a hot sunny June lunchtime but she was attacked by a local man well known to police.
I will never forget her best friend and boyfriend approaching us that evening as they were frantically searching for her. Police found her in the early hours of the morning.
We should all feel safe no matter where we choose to walk. It’s heartbreaking.
