Five members of Jozef Puska's family have been sentenced for their roles in trying to cover up his murder of 23-year-old school teacher, Ashling Murphy.

She was brutally murdered along the banks of the Grand Canal in January 2022.

His wife, Lucia, pleaded guilty just before the trial began, while his two brothers and their wives were found guilty by a jury in June 2025.

Each of them received a custodial sentence and in this episode, Frank and Aisling detail the court proceedings, the mitigating factors put forward by their defence teams, and the judge's ultimate reasoning for each sentence.

They will also read in full the harrowing victim impact statements from Ashling's sister, Amy, and their father, Ray.
