He killed his mother's former partner for money, then threw his bloody pants into the Dead Tisza.

A 47-year-old man from Abony has been charged with multiple counts of murder for killing an elderly acquaintance in his home in Szolnok for financial gain. The prosecution states that the man, facing dire financial circumstances after quitting his job, planned to obtain money from his mother's former partner, who he knew kept a significant amount at home. On February 16, 2026, he violently assaulted the elderly man, resulting in the victim's death, and stole his money. The accused disposed of the murder weapon and his bloody clothing in the Holt-Tisza river. The prosecution is seeking a prison sentence without the possibility of parole, with the Szolnok Court set to make a ruling.
