Jennifer Poole

A 30-year-old man has been sentenced to life in prison for murdering his partner at her home in Dublin last year. Gavin Murphy attacked and stabbed Jennifer ...

Ms Tuffy said she then saw her friend "slumped at the wall" and Murphy with a kitchen knife in his right hand held up to the side of Jennifer’s neck. She said he looked very strange and told him she could not kick it in. The day before she died she asked her friend to take pictures of her injuries. He had stayed at his uncle’s house that night, but returned to have a shower. Murphy was in a relationship with Ms Poole less than a year before he killed her. She was a carer who worked in Beneavin Nursing Home.
