The lawyer of the Darnózseli wife murderer expected a breakthrough from a new tissue examination, but the expert finding was not what he hoped for.

The lawyer of N. János, convicted of murdering his wife in Darnózseli, sought a retrial based on new tissue analysis, but the results did not support his claims. The Győr Court of Appeal rejected the request, stating that the previous findings regarding the cause of death were already known. Despite attempts to argue that modern methods could clarify the circumstances of the death, the new examination revealed that the tissue damage was due to burning, not indicative of natural death. The court emphasized that the conviction was based on a comprehensive set of evidence, including witness testimonies and phone records, rather than solely on the medical cause of death. N. János was sentenced to 21 years in prison in 2020 for premeditated murder, and previous acquittals were overturned due to insufficient evidence.
