Irish man charged with killing of US woman in Budapest
"Mackenzie Michalski (31) was found buried in a suitcase in a forested area outside of the Hungarian capital. The 38-year-old, who has not been named, has been held in pre-trial detention since his arrest in November 2024. Mackenzie Michalski (31), a nurse living in Portland, Oregon, was visiting the Hungarian city when she vanished from a nightclub on November 4, 2024."
"They allege the suspect, who arrived in the country less than a week before his arrest, met Michalski at a nightclub, before they went to his rented apartment. The defendant is alleged to have tied up the victim before strangling her to death. Prosecutors have further alleged that the following day, he purchased a large suitcase and transported her body in a rented car to a forested area 140km outside of the city."
Mackenzie Michalski, 31, a nurse from Portland, Oregon, vanished from a Budapest nightclub on November 4, 2024. Her body was later found buried inside a suitcase in a forested area approximately 140 km from the city. A 38-year-old man has been charged with murder and held in pre-trial detention since his November 2024 arrest, with prosecutors seeking a prison sentence without parole. Authorities allege he met her at a nightclub, took her to his rented apartment, tied her up and strangled her, then purchased a suitcase and transported the body in a rented car. Police reported videos on the suspect's phone and internet searches about missing-person procedures, wild boars and CCTV locations. The suspect reportedly admitted to killing her but said it was accidental; the victim's father rejected that claim.
