Dublin, Europe Brief News – A piece of sand art has been etched on the shores of an Irish cove to remember the loss of Ashling Murphy.
‘A Fiddle for Ashling’ – created by Sean Corcoran at Kilmurrin Cove in County Waterford – symbolises a loss that has left the country grief stricken.
On January 12, Murphy was fatally attacked while out running along her local canal.
Friends and family have since shared fond memories of her life as a primary school teacher and traditional Irish musician.
Environmental artist Corcoran, who goes by The Art Hand on Twitter and runs an art school and studio of the same name in Waterford, shared a video of his ephemeral work.
Corcoran wrote on Twitter that: “I drew it as one continuous line that represents the uncharted journey through life.”
A 31-year-old man has been charged in connection with the murder of the schoolteacher Ashling Murphy in Ireland.
Jozef Puska, who appeared in court in a grey tracksuit, was remanded in custody at Cloverhill prison after a brief hearing at a special sitting of Tullamore district court on Wednesday evening.
A second man in his 30s who was arrested earlier on Wednesday has been released without charge.
Gardaí (Irish police) say a file will be prepared for the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions.
The 23-year-old schoolteacher was allegedly attacked and strangled while out jogging on a canal path near Tullamore in the Irish midlands last Wednesday.
