Shocking new details: CCTV footage captured the moment a young man was killed with two blows at a Budapest nightclub
Gábor Dominik F., who was killed with two blows, tried to help a young girl at a Budapest nightclub before receiving the fatal strikes, based on his father. Vendel Fördős spoke about decisive CCTV footage, while the victim’s mother shared a photo in which, according to Tények, the man accused of the murder, László A., might be seen with the future victim.
CCTV footage proves what happened
We reported that on Saturday night, 28-year-old László A. “finished off” 25-year-old Gábor Dominik F. outside the hugely popular Morisson’s 2 nightclub in Budapest with two blows. Since then, the perpetrator has spoken out, claiming he was only joking with the victim, who didn’t understand the joke and came towards him, which he perceived as an attack and responded by punching. However, Gábor F.’s father was told a very different story at the police station.
The family spent all of Monday morning and afternoon at Teve Street after learning that, despite resuscitation efforts at the hospital, their son had died. Doctors said the blows to his nasal bridge were so forceful that it shifted, flooding his brain with blood. The resulting lack of oxygen caused the young man’s death at just 25.
The girl had fallen; the victim tried to help her
In a choked voice, the father told Blikk that police, based on CCTV footage which he himself had not seen, concluded that Gábor Dominik F. tried to help a young girl whom László A. had tried to hit on, but she twisted her ankle and fell.
“The lady hadn’t gotten up yet, so my son bent down to help her; as he straightened up, the man hit my son twice full-on from the side. It wasn’t a single hit but two. So it was deliberate. Several cameras clearly recorded this,” revealed the grieving father, Vendel Fördős. He added that they do not blame the nightclub, even though several law firms have already contacted them offering to represent them in a compensation lawsuit.
The last selfie surfaces
The mother posted what is currently considered the last photo of her son on Facebook, showing him posing with an unknown person. According to Tények, the stranger could even be the perpetrator, László A. Earlier reports suggested the two young men did not know each other. The mother now wants to find out via social media who is in the selfie.
László A. has partly admitted his actions to the police, though at the time he did not know the victim had died. He is currently in pre-trial detention due to his dual citizenship (Transylvanian origin) and concerns that he might flee because of the anticipated severe sentence. Experts say he could face 5 to 15 years in prison. Otherwise, he has a clean record and has had no prior conflicts at the nightclub.
