Ashling Murphy's boyfriend settles BBC defamation case
- Ryan Casey, the partner of Ashling Murphy who was killed in 2022, resolved a defamation lawsuit against the BBC in Dublin's High Court in July 2025.
- The lawsuit followed a November 30, 2023 broadcast of BBC's 'The View' that criticized Casey's victim impact statement at Jozef Puska's sentencing for Ashling's 2022 murder.
- The BBC stood by the journalism in the episode but clarified it does not consider Casey a criminal, racist, or inciter of hatred through his statement.
- Casey expressed relief that the challenging and restrictive period had finally concluded and was awarded a six-figure settlement along with legal costs.
- Casey hopes the resolution reminds media of their responsibility and pledges to advocate for safety and a society free of censorship in Ashling's honor.
