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

Hungarian police say the suspect had met the 31-year-old Oregon woman at a nightclub and later made internet searches on how to dispose of a body.

Police detained the suspect, an Irish citizen, on the evening of Nov. 7. Investigators said that Michalski and the suspect met at a nightclub and danced before leaving for the man's rented apartment. The man killed Michalski while they were engaged in an “intimate encounter,” police said.

The victim, Mackenzie Michalski was reported missing on Nov. 5 after she was last seen at a nightclub in central Budapest.

A man is in custody Friday after an American woman who went missing in Budapest was killed earlier this week, Hungarian police said.
