Ashling Murphy's killing has 'united the country in grief'
A "depraved act of violence" which deprived Ashling Murphy of her life has united the country in grief and support, mourners at her funeral have been told.
Bishop of Meath Tom Deenihan said the killing of the 23-year-old woman has asked questions of "ourselves and of society".
Ms Murphy, a talented musician and teacher, was attacked as she exercised on the banks of the Grand Canal in Tullamore, Co Offaly, sparking a murder investigation.
The killing has intensified debate on women's safety and prompted calls for more to be done to tackle gender-based violence.
