Gardai have launched a probe after this chef died in his bed from injuries he received in an altercation on a city centre street.

James Kailedzi, 31, was found dead by his friends the morning after the incident in the centre of Dublin early last Friday. Mr Kailedzi, who was a chef in a well-known Dublin hotel and originally from Malawi, suffered a head wound after he fell to the ground in the incident, and gardai last night said he died from those injuries.

“I knew him very well, we shared a room together,’ Henry Mkumbira Phiri, president of the Association of Malawians in Ireland told us last night. “He was a very good man loved by the community. He was a man for everyone,” he added.
