  Jan Prochazka sustained a single stab wound to the chest on Patrick Street, Newbridge, on 7 April 2021 and died three days later in Naas General Hospital. Danut Scurtu, a 35-year-old man, was charged with Prochazka's murder at Naas District Court in June 2021 and was on bail at €15,000. Scurtu was found dead in the back of a van in a retail car park in Naas on 17 November 2021. An inquest at Kildare Coroner's Court sitting in Athy in May 2022 concluded beyond reasonable doubt that his death was self-inflicted, with toxicology negative for alcohol or drugs.
