The man accused of murdering Tamás Till denied his guilt, claiming that the boy committed suicide.

The defense requested the termination of the trial regarding the murder of Tamás Till, arguing that the crime had expired under juvenile laws. The lawyer emphasized the importance of legal certainty and noted that authorities previously agreed on the expiration of the case. A recent amendment to the Criminal Code clarified that there is no statute of limitations for aggravated murder cases involving minors. The accused, who was 16 at the time of the murder, denied guilt and claimed he was coerced into confessing. He provided inconsistent statements about the incident, including that he accidentally hit Till. The trial also faced criticism for procedural shortcomings, including the handling of evidence and expert testimonies. The accused has filed complaints against the police for coercion during interrogation, but they were acquitted of wrongdoing in a separate proceeding.
