Ashling Murphy murder

Merry Xmas!
The response to this terrible violent killing have been heartwarming. From Tullamore to Brisbane, the diaspora and friends have come out in their thousands to pay respect to her memory and to say "enough is enough".

A woman named Elizabeth, who said she had “narrowly avoided the same fate as Ashling twelve years ago”, said the past few days have been “terrifying and triggering” for her but that the nationwide reaction to Ms Murphy’s murder had been “so important” in working towards change.

This is, indeed, so important that people are voicing their horror and anger at yet another needless hateful murder. It feels like some kind of change is in the air, don't recall this reaction at previous murders in Ireland - and it's a long and depressing list over the decades.

Perhaps the responses to the Sarah Everard murder were some kind of catalyst for action/reaction.

Tributes paid to Ashling Murphy at vigils in Ireland, London and New York
 

Gardai are waiting to interview a man who presented himself to hospital with what appear to be self inflicted knife wounds. They are also searching two houses owned by the man. One in Dublin and one near Tullamore.

People are very shocked by the murder. Thousands have taken to the streets in cities, towns and villages all over Ireland to hold candlelit vigils and talk...to yet again raise the issue of violence against women and femicide. To ask what is being done to stop this.

A young 23 year old out for a run in broad daylight on a popular walking route, brutally murdered. Ashling put up a very brave fight for her life.
She was running on a route called Fiona's Way, named after Fiona Pender, a woman who went missing from Tullamore 25 years ago, and who has never been found.

Just heard about this. Young lass just starting out in life. My heart goes out to her family and I hope they get the bastard (looks like they may have done so already).
 
Unfortunately because of his nationality, the entirely predictable "foreigners coming over here" unhelpful shite is cropping up in the social media.
