BREAKING – Shocking testimony: the American woman died in Budapest due to BDSM sex gone wrong?

An Irish man accused of murdering a 31-year-old American woman in Budapest has claimed that her death was the result of a tragic accident during a consensual BDSM encounter. The accused, who has been under investigation since the discovery of Mackenzie Michalski’s body, maintains his innocence. However, questions persist as to why he failed to call for medical assistance or alert the authorities. Meanwhile, the victim’s American boyfriend has alleged that she was brutally murdered.

The American woman had travelled to Budapest with a friend, staying in an Airbnb in the central district of Terézváros. While her friend returned home on 5 November, Ms Michalski decided to stay on for an extra day to explore the city further. However, on Tuesday evening, she went missing. Her disappearance prompted a widespread search effort involving friends, family, and even her local congressman.

The investigation quickly led authorities to an Irish man, who was identified through CCTV footage. It is alleged that after Ms Michalski’s death, he attempted to conceal her body by burying it in a wooded area near Szigliget. Hungarian police apprehended the suspect within 24 hours of her disappearance and subsequently recovered the victim’s remains.

The suspect, identified as T.L.M., initially provided only a vague account of events. However, according to Hungarian media outlet 24.hu, he has since delivered a detailed confession. Represented by high-profile Hungarian lawyer György Magyar, the Irish man has claimed that the incident was a tragic accident during a consensual sexual encounter.

T.L.M. provided a detailed confession today, elaborating on the incident. The marketing professional has enlisted the services of György Magyar, a prominent Hungarian lawyer and university lecturer in law. Mr Magyar is known for representing high-profile clients, including Ilaria Salis, an Italian Antifa activist and now MEP, who was imprisoned for violent Antifa attacks against Hungarians in Budapest. He has also defended figures such as Attila Ambrus, known as “The Whiskey Robber,” and Ramil Səfərov, who was convicted of murdering an Armenian military officer in Hungary in 2004.

The accused claims It was a BDSM sex-related accident

As reported by 24.hu, according to the Irish suspect’s testimony, the two met on the evening of 4 November and consumed significant amounts of alcohol together. Later, at his apartment, Ms Michalski allegedly requested a BDSM encounter that involved physical pain to enhance sexual arousal. The suspect claims that during this “game,” Ms Michalski fell into a state of oxygen deprivation, lost consciousness, and suffocated. His lawyer, Mr Magyar, has asserted that the autopsy will corroborate this version of events.

Even if the suspect’s account is accurate, serious questions remain about his actions following the American woman’s death. Instead of seeking medical assistance or notifying authorities, he allegedly concealed her body in a wardrobe, rented a car, and drove to the countryside to dispose of her remains in a suitcase in a forested area.

Mr Magyar has defended his client’s actions as those of a panicked man who was terrified of the consequences. He emphasised that the death was unintentional and not an act of murder.

Despite these claims, Ms Michalski’s boyfriend has publicly alleged that she was beaten, raped, and murdered. Hungarian police continue to investigate the case as a possible femicide, examining both the suspect’s testimony and the forensic evidence.
