Heartbroken son of man killed in Kildare assault says he 'hopes for justice'

The heartbroken son of a man who died after he was badly assaulted in a sustained attack earlier this week said he “hopes for justice” as his dad “did not deserve to die that way”.

Marcel Kusenda, 47, was pronounced dead yesterday afternoon at Naas General Hospital from injuries he sustained in the serious assault. He had been in a critical condition in hospital since he was discovered with serious injuries outside a house in the Piercetown area of Newbridge in Kildare on Wednesday morning.

A major line of inquiry is that Mr Kusenda – who was originally from Slovakia – was targeted in a row which stemmed from an incident at a house. As Garda investigations continue Marcel’s grieving son, also named Marcel, has spoken of his immense grief for his dad and his hopes for justice.
