Former porn star’s sick act after allegedly ‘killing son’
A woman allegedly killed her son and dumped his body on a supermarket counter in what has been described as “revenge” against her ex.
A former porn star has been accused of fatally stabbing her two-year-old son during a bitter custody battle.
Katalin Erzsebet Bradacs, 44, from Hungary, entered the Lidl supermarket chain store in Città della Pieve, a community in the central region of Umbria, on Friday and shouted for help as she placed her son Alex Juhasz’s body on the counter, The NY Post reports.
The toddler had been stabbed nine times across his chest and neck, according to a report. His blood-soaked T-shirt and his mother’s jumper were later discovered in an abandoned building nearby.
Bradacs was arrested and charged with murder after a knife was found in her handbag.
Investigators believe the motive for the gruesome crime was revenge against Alex’s father, Norbert Juhasz, from whom the former adult actress was separated and had been embroiled in a nasty child custody dispute.
The father had alerted authorities in Hungary, where he lives, after an image of his dying son was reportedly sent to his mobile phone via WhatsApp shortly before the woman took the child to the store.
“I did not kill my son,” Bradacs reportedly told police as she gave three contradictory accounts of the events before deciding to clam up on the advice of her lawyer, Enrico Renzoni.
Juhasz said Bradacs had fled to Italy with their son last month after a Hungarian court granted him custody of the boy.
The filicide suspect, who is being held at a prison in Perugia, had been living at a home in the Tuscan town of Chiusi Scalo belonging to a man who had managed the now-shuttered nightclub where she had worked.
Witnesses have reported that she was allegedly mistreating her son the day before his death.
