City stockbroker jumped to his death from restaurant roof after fearing he would lose his job over prank message
By Daily Mail Reporter
16th February 2010
A City banker jumped to his death with a glass of champagne in his hand after he was accused of sending a prank email, an inquest has heard.
Anjool Malde, 24, was suspended by bosses at Deutsche Bank two days before he died.
They believed he had left a joke message on a financial website in the name of one of the bank's clients, boasting: 'I'm hot, I'm hot'.
Mr Malde denied being the sender, but it was traced to his work computer.
Two days later, at lunchtime on Sunday, July 5, last year, CCTV cameras filmed him calmly ordering a glass of champagne at the Coq D'Argent restaurant in the City of London, then leaping to his death from its eighth floor roof terrace.
He died just two days before his 25th birthday.
Mr Malde, a state-school pupil who read geography at Oxford, seemingly had everything to live for.
He had enjoyed a glittering career at the bank and was co-founder of Alpha Parties, which arranged social events for young graduates.
He had just bought a £300,000 penthouse apartment in Spain and had invited friends to a birthday party there in the week after his death.
His father Bharat, a psychologist from Yarm, near Middlesbrough, told the inquest he spoke to his son on the Friday he was suspended and Mr Malde told him he planned a weekend of partying - but still intended to go to a family barbecue on Sunday.
Mr Malde said: 'I said something like 'Sounds good stuff to me, Anjool' and he said 'Cool, Dad' and that was it.'
Deutsche Bank security chief Daniel Earp said the Google email account which sent the spoof message also sent emails to the bank client involved, offering to pay £500 to charity to 'make the matter go away' and saying the sender was 'feeling suicidal'.
But Mr Malde denied involvement and insisted: 'I'm not suicidal.'
Mr Malde's friend Irra Khirivskaya, a model, said they had attended a party the night before his death, but he was very withdrawn and they left early.
'She said Mr Malde told her he had faced a disciplinary meeting at work but said 'he didn't much care about being in the bank'.
Miss Khirivskaya said: 'His actions can't be explained as the actions of the Jools I know. He was someone who temporarily lost his wits.'
But she said of his death: 'The efficiency of his actions, their style and precision, were all very typical of Anjool.'
City of London coroner Paul Matthews recorded a verdict of suicide.
