An Irish man is sentenced to 14 years in a high-security prison in Hungary for the murder of an American tourist in Budapest. Multiple outlets identify the victim as 31-year-old Mackenzie Michalski from Portland, Oregon, who was on holiday in Hungary in 2024. She is reported missing on 5 November 2024 after being last seen at a nightclub in central Budapest. Police launch a missing person investigation and review security footage from local nightclubs. Prosecutors say the Irish citizen killed Michalski, describing the death as strangling. Several reports also state that he tried to conceal what happened after the killing. According to those accounts, he allegedly cleaned the apartment and hid her body, placing it in a wardrobe, before later buying a suitcase and disposing of her body in it. The court convicts him and imposes the 14-year sentence. The reports agree on the central facts: the victim’s identity and location, the date she is reported missing, the alleged manner of death, and the length of the prison sentence.
