Slain New York mother Orsolya Gaal's handyman/lover avoid a murder charge by pleading guilty to manslaughter in the mother's deal. David Bonola accepted a plead deal and will be sentenced to 25 years in prison.
Prosecutors say Bonola stabbed the 51-year-old wife and mother of two nearly 50 times in her home in April, then stuffed her dismembered body in a duffel bag and dumped it at a park.
Police say Gaal and David Bonola had a two-year affair. Chief James Essig says Bonola arrived at Gaal’s home between 12:30 a.m. and 12:40 a.m. on April 16. An argument broke out, which continued in the basement where Gaal was stabbed with a knife from her own kitchen. Police believe the suspect then stuffed Gaal in her son’s hockey bag. Investigators searched the suspect’s garbage and found a bloody pair of work boots and other bloodied items.
