Man charged with navan murder is found dead

A man who was charged with the murder of his wife in Navan last year has been found dead in his prison cell in Dublin.

Investigations are underway into the circumstances surrounding the death of Marius Sarzynski in Cloverhill Prison in Dublin on Tuesday night.

He had been charged with the murder of his wife, Aleksandra Sarzynska, at their home in Bective House, Beaufort Place, Navan, in August 2013.

Mr Sarzynski was found slumped in his cell by prison staff at around 10.30pm. Medical staff were alerted and an ambulance called. The prisoner was removed to Tallaght Hospital where he was pronounced dead.

It is being reported that foul play is not suspected in the case but Mr Sarzynski's death is not believed to be due to natural causes.

The death of Ms Sarzynska, who is originally from Wroclaw in Poland, shocked the Polish community in Navan a year ago.
