According to the Irish Mirror, monster Jozef Puska has “piled on the weight” and is learning English while inside, reports The Mirror.

Puska, 34, a native of Slovakia, is currently being taught how to speak English at the Midlands Prison’s “E” Division in Portlaoise. Three years ago this past weekend, he killed innocent schoolteacher Ashling Murphy, 23, as she was out on a run in Tullamore Co. Offaly.

Details of the deranged murderer’s pitiful life on a landing he shares with some 60 rapists, child abusers, and a few lifers may now be seen in the Irish Mirror.

It’s known that Puska was sent to the E Wing because of the sexual motivation behind his offence, but there were also concerns that he may be attacked by other inmates in other landings.

According to sources, he doesn’t have a specific profession allocated to him; instead, he spends his days at the Midlands Prison School, where he takes art lessons, works with wood, and occasionally does cleaning. According to reports, he is also learning how to speak English and is receiving tutoring from a qualified teacher in this area, reports The Mirror.

It follows his murder trial, where the judge heard that he had been in Ireland since 2013 but that his English was not very good and that he required a translator the entire time.

According to sources, the deranged murderer who testified at his well-publicized murder trial has also undergone a significant physical transformation and gained weight while incarcerated, reports The Mirror.

“He’s piled on the weight,” a source stated. He maintains long, greasy hair that is slicked back. In there, he hangs out with the worst of the worst.

Deluded Puska thinks he will be able to overturn his conviction in an appeal later this year, despite the overwhelming evidence to the contrary, reports The Mirror.

Although there are several well-known murderers in Midlands Prison, such Mark Nash, Graham Dwyer, and Joe O’Reilly, none of them are kept close to the E Wing, which is reportedly home to the majority of the worst sex offenders, according to sources.

The entire country was stunned when Puska was found guilty in November 2023 of Ashling Murphy’s murder. On January 12, 2022, as Ms. Murphy was out for a run near the canal in Tullamore, Puska viciously stabbed her twelve times and slit her neck in a random and unexpected attack, reports The Mirror.

Following heartbreaking and incredibly moving victim impact statements from Ms. Murphy’s sister Amy, mother Kathleen, and partner Ryan Casey, he was sentenced. Ryan, Ashling’s partner, broke down in tears after his stirring address, turning to face the murderer seated in the dock and declaring, “I don’t care where you end up, or what happens to you after today,” reports The Mirror.
