Gardaí are seeking to speak to a woman knocked over in an incident preceding the death of Yves Sakila in Dublin in May.

Mr Sakila, 35, was pronounced dead in hospital after an incident at the Arnotts department store on Henry Street.

On Sunday, gardaí said they continue to investigate all the circumstances relating to Mr Sakila’s death on May 15.

They have received a completed post-mortem examination report but are not releasing details “for operational reasons”.

During the incident, a man and a female were knocked to the ground.

Gardaí have spoken to the man who was injured but said they are “yet to speak to the female that was knocked to the ground”.

She is described as white, with dark hair, in her late teens to early twenties, wearing a khaki-coloured waist-length coat, black crop t-shirt, blue jeans cut at the knees and black Adidas runners.

Gardaí said that after being knocked to the ground, “she got up herself and stayed around for a few minutes before making her way to O’Connell Street”.

An Garda Síochána said it is interested in speaking with her as part of the investigation and she is asked to contact the investigation team.

A spokesperson said: “Investigating gardaí believe there are also still other persons who were in the area at the time who have not come forwarded to speak with the investigating team.

“Anyone with information is asked to contact Store Street garda station on 01 666 8000, the garda confidential line, or any garda station.”
