David Bonola placed the corpse into a hockey equipment bag belonging to Orsolya Gaal’s son as the teen slept upstairs.
NEW YORK — The longtime lover of a married Queens mother confessed to her killing, with a heated late-night argument in her basement ending with a brutal homicide in which was stabbed dozens of times, police said Thursday.
Bonola placed the corpse into a hockey equipment bag belonging to Gaal’s son as the teen slept upstairs, he said. A blood trail was left as he then toted the corpse through the darkness, police said. Essig said the suspect’s jacket was recovered in Forest Park, not far from where Gaal’s body was found, with Bonola’s boots, T-shirt and bloody bandages found at another location. Gaal had earlier stopped for a nightcap at the Forest Hills Station House restaurant, ordering her usual drink, a Moscow mule, before heading home, according to CBS New York.
Investigators quickly became focused on Bonola, who met Gaal while working as a handyman at the family’s Tudor home and knew an extra house key was kept hidden in an outdoor barbecue grill. But officials said it was unclear if the victim let him in or if he used the key to come inside around 12:30 a.m. Saturday.
Gaal apparently put up a fight when confronted after she arrived at her Forest Hills home from a night out with friends in Manhattan, with investigators finding defensive wounds on her hands among the dozens of injuries inflicted on her, officials said. Police recovered doorbell video showing the killer lugging Gaal’s body from her home. Police said there were no signs of forced entry.
