A former St Peter’s student who committed suicide has been awarded a posthumous degree by the college.
Stockbroker Anjool Maldé was 24 when he jumped off the roof of an exclusive London restaurant last summer. Mr Maldé had been under investigation by Deutsche Bank for posting prank messages on a financial website.
Maldé read Geography at St Peter’s College. Since his death, friends of Mr Maldé have announced plans for an endowment in Anjool’s memory with a target initial amount of £20,000 to fund an annual scholarship of £800 to be awarded to an Oxford student.
St Peter’s college said in a statement: “Mr Maldé was clearly destined to develop a distinguished career in whatever he turned his hand to and it is therefore particularly tragic that his life was cut so short.”
As well as awarding him the degree, St Peter’s also hosted a memorial tea for Mr Malde.
