Locals claim the perpetrator was under the influence of drugs, but the police only discussed the facts without mentioning the reasons.

Then, he attempted to flee using the victim’s car.

Due to the brutal assault, the female shop assistant lost her life at the scene, while the other two victims were taken to the hospital with severe injuries. A 60-year-old woman suffered life-threatening injuries, and a customer was hospitalised with a broken arm.

The 31-year-old attacker tried to flee towards Siófok or Dombóvár but was involved in an accident near Kiliti at 8:30 PM.
