'I had a key between my fingers, ready to attack.'
Vicky Phelan has said she has been "deeply affected" by the murder of Offaly woman Ashling Murphy, and said she herself used to go for runs with keys between her fingers because she was afraid of being attacked.
"Each and every time, I had a key between my fingers ready to attack, I was constantly scanning my surroundings and made notes of what men were wearing, how tall they were etc. in case any of them attacked me. I never took the same route twice and I never wore short shorts.
