Orsolya Gaal murder case NYPD update

Police officials announce the arrest of David Bonola in connection with the death of Orsolya Gaal in her Queens home.

David, Bonola, 44, of Queens was arrested for the murder of 51-year-old Orsolya Gaal.  Police say the killing came after the pair, who had been romantically involved, had an argument in her home.

Police said he made "incriminating statements" when detectives interviewed him late Wednesday night.

The Queens mother of two was stabbed to death over the weekend and then stuffed inside a duffel bag and dumped a few blocks from her Forest Hills home.

She was stabbed in excess of 55 times inside the home with her son in a bedroom upstairs. A trail of blood marked the path her body was taken.

A doorbell camera caught a man dragging a duffel bag down the street around 4:30 a.m. Gaal's body was believed to be inside the bag.  A person walking their dog found the bag a few hours later.
