He was hit while crossing the street in Phnom Penh and died despite medical efforts to save him.

A second man - 26-year-old Padraig O'Dea from Mayo - was killed after he fell from the back of a moving taxi in London in the early hours of yesterday morning.

He sustained serious head injuries in the incident in the Harrow area of the city and later died in hospital.
