The details presented in court in the trial of a Dublin man for the killing of Mackenzie Michalski (31) were harrowing.
The American nurse was travelling around Europe with friends and was on her last night in Budapest when, on November 4th, 2024, she met the 37-year-old man from Dublin in a bar.
Later they went back to his apartment where he killed her. The judge rejected his defence that Mackenzie had died during consensual “rough” sex.
Budapest-based journalist Bálint Dömötör has been in court for the trial and the verdict and he explains why, when the man has been found guilty, he still cannot be named.
Presented by Bernice Harrison. Produced by Suzanne Brennan with research by Ellen Clusker.
