Investigation completed in the case of Kenzie, the American woman murdered in Budapest
Change language:
The Budapest Police Headquarters (BRFK) has completed its investigation into the case of the American woman, Kenzie, murdered in the Hungarian capital last November. The police have submitted a motion to the prosecutor’s office for an indictment against the Irish man who is strongly suspected of committing the homicide, the BRFK announced on its website on Thursday.
During questioning, the man admitted to killing the woman but claimed it was an accident that occurred during “intimate relations”. He also showed police the location in a forest near Szigliget where he had buried the victim’s body, hidden inside a suitcase, the statement recalled.
They noted that the 31-year-old American woman was last seen on 4 November 2024, at a nightclub in Budapest. After her disappearance was reported, police immediately launched a search. However, more and more suspicious circumstances indicated that the tourist, who had arrived in Hungary from the United States, might have fallen victim to a crime. Two days later, Budapest police arrested a then 37-year-old Irish citizen on suspicion of homicide.
