Gardai investigating the murder of Ashling Murphy are still waiting to speak to their main suspect, who's currently in hospital.
The 23 year old primary school teacher was killed while jogging along the Grand Canal in Tullamore, Co. Offaly last Wednesday.
Garda divers are still searching the canal to find any weapon that might have been used in the attack.
Conor Lally, crime and security editor with the Irish Times, says the man in hospital is the key focus of the investigation:
"He presented to hospital in the company of a relative of his last Thursday evening.
"He had wounds that he really wasn't able to explain.
"The Gardai are waiting to speak to him, the process of cross checking DNA from him with DNA taken from the scene and from the mountain bike found at the scene is underway."
