An Irish man has been charged in connection to the death of American tourist Mackenzie Michalski in Budapest, officials say.

Hungarian officials have a 37-year-old suspect in custody, who is said to have divulged details of the Oregon woman's death.

The suspect -- a 37-year-old Irish citizen -- was arrested and allegedly confessed to killing her, police said. He allegedly showed police where he had hidden her body, police said. The name of the suspect, who was a "a couple of years the victim's senior," according to investigators, was only identified as L.T.M.
