A former Hungarian porn star has been accused of fatally stabbing her 2-year-old son to death during a bitter custody battle and dumping his body at an Italian supermarket checkout, according to a report.
Former porn star allegedly kills her 2-year-old son and dumps his body in supermarket checkout line
Katalin Erzsebet Bradacs, 44, entered the Lidl chain store in Città della Pieve, a community in central Umbria, on Friday and screamed for help as she placed the body of her son Alex Juhasz on the counter, Newsflash reported.
The boy had been stabbed nine times in the chest and neck, the report said.
His blood-soaked T-shirt and his mother’s sweater were later discovered in a nearby abandoned building.
Bradacs was arrested and charged with murder after a knife was found in her purse, the news outlet reported.
Investigators believe the motive for the gruesome crime was revenge against Alex’s father, Norbert Juhasz, from whom the former adult actress separated and with whom she had been involved in a nasty child custody dispute.
The father had alerted authorities in Hungary, where he lives, after an image of his dying son was allegedly sent to his cell phone via WhatsApp shortly before the woman took the child to the store, according to Newsflash.
“I did not kill my son,” Bradacs told police as he gave three contradictory versions of events before deciding to remain silent on the advice of his lawyer, Enrico Renzoni.
Juhasz said Bradacs had fled to Italy with her son last month after a Hungarian court granted her custody of the child.
The filicide suspect, who is being held in a Perugia prison, lived in a house in the Tuscan town of Chiusi Scalo that belonged to a man who had managed the now-closed nightclub where she had worked.
