The whole country was shaken to hear that a 31-year-old American nurse, Mackenzie Michalski, was brutally murdered in Budapest in early November. Police arrested an Irish man, her murderer, who claims they had a consensual BDSM encounter during which the woman died. Yesterday, a disturbing video emerged of their arrival at the man’s apartment.
The Irish guy talks about a consensual BDSM encounter
Ms Michalski went missing on the night of 5 November after putting her friend on a plane back to the USA at Budapest Airport. After consuming large amounts of alcohol in multiple Budapest pubs with a 37-year-old Irish guy beginning his marketing job in Budapest, they went to the man’s downtown apartment.
That is the point when two versions of the story begin to unfold. The Irish guy’s version states that the American woman asked him to tie her up and cause her pain. According to the Irish man, at some point during their “consensual BDSM sex”, she fell unconscious and suffocated due to oxygen deprivation.
According to the family, it was a deliberate murder
The woman’s American boyfriend (allegedly, they broke up before her travel to Hungary), and her family and friends do not believe the Irish guy’s version. The family shared a post on the mother’s Facebook profile highlighting that what happened was a “deliberate and violent murder”.
“One important point needs to be clarified. Based on all available evidence reviewed during consultation with the Hungarian Police, our daughter’s death was in no way accidental despite claims to the contrary. It was a deliberate and violent murder. After our encouraging interactions with the Hungarian Police and other authorities, we remain hopeful that Kenzie’s killer will be held responsible for his crimes to the fullest extent of the law.”
Ms Michalski walked hand in hand with her alleged murderer
The Hungarian police continue to investigate the femicide. After the death of the American woman, the Irish man tried to get rid of the body. He rented a car and placed the corpse in the marshes near Szigliget, close to Lake Balaton. His lawyer, the defender of celebrity-like defendants, György Magyar, says he panicked. That is the reason for his suspicious reaction.
RTL Klub obtained the last hours of the duo in the Budapest downtown apartment recorded by CCTV cameras. The footage makes one thing clear. Neither the man nor the woman were drugged, and both seemed to be aware of what they were doing. They walked hand in hand on the street, and it seems Ms Michalski entered the elevator voluntarily.
The Irish guy’s lawyer says the autopsy will clarify the situation in favour of his client. According to the family, Ms Michalski’s body is already in the USA.
