Irish man killed the American woman while getting intimate

Here’s the unchanged statement of the Hungarian police:

“Budapest Metropolitan Police were looking for a 31-year-old American woman who disappeared from a Budapest nightclub on 5 November 2024.

The 6th District Police Department was conducting the missing person procedure, so the investigators and the Fugitive Search Division obtained footage from all available CCTV cameras in the neighbourhood, and noticed a man with whom the missing girl was seen together in several nightclubs. Suspicious circumstances in connection with her disappearance led the investigators believe that the possibility that the American girl became the victim of a crime could not be ruled out.

The unidentified man was arrested at his rented apartment in District VI. in the evening of 7 November.

Given the fact that after the arrest further evidence was found which gave rise to the suspicion of murder, the Homicide Division launched an investigation, and in the course of 24 hours the following was established:

The 31-year-old American girl had arrived in Hungary as a tourist. She met an Irish man, a couple years her senior, in a nightclub and together they visited another nightclub, where they danced and became closer. After she had decided to go to his rented apartment in the 7th district, they had gotten intimate, and he killed her in the process.

The perpetrator then tried to cover up the murder; so he cleaned his apartment and hid the girl’s body in the wardrobe cabinet while he went out to buy a suitcase.

He then put the victim’s body in the suitcase, rented a car and drove to Lake Balaton with the suitcase in the trunk.

He hid his victim in the woods, in an area outside Szigliget and then drove back to Budapest, where he was captured and arrested.

Investigators from the Homicide Division questioned the 37-year-old Irish citizen with the initials L.T. M. as a suspect for murder. He confessed to killing the woman, but claimed it was an accident. After his interrogation, the suspect also showed the detectives where he had hidden the body. He was taken into custody and his arrest was initiated.

The investigation also revealed that after the murder, the 37-year-old man had searched the Internet for the phrases “Do pigs really eat dead bodies?”, “Texas woman killed by a wild boar. “, “Wild boar sighting in Lake Balaton coastal towns”, “What does a corpse smell like after it decomposes”, “Getting rid of the smell of rotting meat “, Budapest webcams”, “What happens after a person is reported missing”, “How do the police handle missing person cases?”, “How reliable is the police in Budapest?”
