An Irish man has been detained for the suspected killing of an American tourist in Hungary.

A 37-year-old man from Ireland has been taken into custody by authorities in connection with the tragic murder of an American nurse in Hungary. The victim, 31-year-old Mackenzie Michalski, had been reported missing on November 5 after a night out at a popular nightclub in central Budapest.

After reviewing security footage from local nightclubs, police were able to track down the suspect at his apartment and make an arrest on November 7. During questioning, the man confessed to the murder, claiming it was an accident. According to police, the suspect and Michalski had met at the nightclub and left together, eventually ending up at the man's rented apartment.

In an attempt to cover up the crime, the suspect rented a car, placed Michalski's body in a suitcase, and hid it in a wooded area on the outskirts of Szigliget. He also tried to clean up the crime scene by hiding her body in a wardrobe while he went to retrieve a suitcase. Police released a video showing the suspect leading them to the location of the body.

Further investigation revealed that the suspect had made several internet searches on how to dispose of a body, police procedures for missing persons cases, and whether pigs would eat human remains. He had also searched for information on wild boars in the Lake Balaton area and the competency of Budapest police.

Photographs from the crime scene show a rolling suitcase, clothing, and a handbag belonging to Michalski. Her family had recently created a Facebook group to gather any information on her whereabouts after she went missing. Sadly, her parents received the devastating news of her death while en route to Hungary to assist in the search.

At a candlelight vigil in Budapest, Michalski's father expressed his overwhelming emotions over the loss of his daughter. Support is available for victims of sexual assault or domestic violence through the National Sexual Assault, Domestic Family Violence Counselling Service.
