Chef who killed his partner hung himself in cell

A chef who was convicted of stabbing his partner to death with a steak knife was found hanging in a locked cell in Arbour Hill prison by his shoelaces, an inquest heard tonight.

Brian Daly, 48, from Laytown, Co Meath was discovered suspended from the latch of a window in the prison on August 14, 2004 – after being convicted four months earlier of the manslaughter of Jean Reilly.
