Bath murder charge man found dead in prison cell

Hossein Abdollahzadeh, 32, was on remand awaiting trial for killing bakery worker Agnieszka Dziegielewska.

The 30-year-old was found in the bathroom of her home in Swinton, South Yorkshire, last month.

Abdollahzadeh was discovered hanging in his cell at Doncaster Prison on Tuesday afternoon.

A prison spokesman said staff attempted to resuscitate him but failed. The death will be investigated by the Prisons Ombudsman.

Miss Dziegielewska moved to the UK four years ago from Bialystok in north-east Poland.

Staff at the bakery where she worked alerted police when she did not turn up for work.

The prison spokesman said: "HMP & YOI Doncaster prisoner Hossein Abdollahzadeh was found hanging in his cell at 3.23pm on February 9," he said.

"Staff and paramedics attended and resuscitation was attempted, but Mr Abdollahzadeh was pronounced dead at 3.50pm.

"Police, coroner and next of kin have been informed. The Prisons and Probation Ombudsman will carry out an investigation as he does into all deaths in custody."

"We have extended our sympathies to Mr Abdollahzadeh's family."
