An Garda Síochána has issued a fresh appeal for witnesses regarding the death of Yves Sakila, which occurred on Henry Street in Dublin on 15 May 2026. While a post-mortem report has been finalised, officials have confirmed that the findings will remain confidential to protect the integrity of the ongoing investigation, which is being spearheaded by the Serious Crime Unit at Store Street Garda Station.
Detectives are particularly keen to identify a woman who was knocked to the ground during the incident. She is described as being in her late teens or early twenties, with dark hair and wearing a khaki-coloured waist-length coat, a black crop top, distressed blue jeans, and black Adidas trainers. After the encounter, she was observed moving towards O’Connell Street, and officers are urging her or anyone who may recognise this description to come forward.
Beyond this specific witness, investigators believe other members of the public who were in the vicinity of Henry Street between 5:00pm and 5:25pm on the day in question may hold vital information. Individuals with relevant details are encouraged to contact Store Street Garda Station at 01 666 8000, reach out via the Garda Confidential Line, or report the matter to their local Garda station.
