Three women and two men appeared before Tullamore District Court on Wednesday morning in connection with the investigation into the alleged murder of Ashling Murphy, the 23-year-old primary schoolteacher who was killed in Tullamore on January 12th, 2022.
34-year-old Marek Puska, 35-year-old Lubomir Puska and 34-year-old Lucia Istokova, whose addresses cannot be published by order of the court, are accused of failing to disclose information to Gardaí on a date unknown between two dates last year.
33-year-old Jozefina Grundzova and 38-year-old Viera Gaziova are both accused of impeding the apprehension or prosecution of a person.
Judge Andrew Cody also made an order prohibiting the publication of their addresses.
He was told the DPP had directed that all five be tried by indictment in the Central Criminal Court and he remanded them on bail to appear in court again for service of books of evidence on September the 27th.
