Vigil Held for Congolese Man as Gardaí Investigate Death and Alleged Theft That Left Elderly Man Hospitalised Dublin city centre saw a vigil take place earlier today on Henry Street for Yves Sakila, the 35-year-old Congolese national who had lived in Ireland since 2004 and worked in IT. Attendees laid flowers at the scene and chanted “blood on their hands” in both English and their native Congolese languages, demanding justice over his death last Friday. Sakila died after being restrained by security guards during an alleged shoplifting incident at a local store. As he attempted to make his getaway, he knocked over and injured an elderly man in his 80s, who was hospitalised. Gardaí were called to the scene, where Sakila became unresponsive and was later pronounced dead at the Mater Hospital. While the loss of life is always tragic, the swift organisation of a public vigil, complete with strong accusations, feels somewhat premature given the circumstances. An innocent elderly shopper is now hospitalised because of the chaos sparked by the alleged theft, yet much of the public focus has centred on portraying Sakila as the primary victim. Gardaí and the independent policing watchdog Fiosrú are investigating the incident. A post-mortem is underway, and officers continue to appeal for witnesses and video footage from the area between 5pm and 5:30pm on May 15. The family and Congolese community have expressed deep shock and are seeking answers. This remains a developing case, and the full facts, including what exactly caused Sakila’s death and the events leading up to the restraint, will need to come from the official investigation rather than street protests.
