The man who died in the fire at a Bristol tower block over the weekend has been named as Abdul Jabar Oryakhel, who had arrived in Bristol after leaving Afghanistan only a few months ago.
The 30-year-old died when he fell from a 16th floor window trying to escape a fire in the flat where he was living in Easton in the early hours of Sunday morning (September 25).
The Times reported that Mr Oryakhel had travelled across the Channel in a boat in February after leaving Afghanistan after the Taliban took over the country following the withdrawal of US and UK forces.
