Hungarian police have remanded six persons in custody under suspicion of being involved in a mass murder at Budapest’s Csepel district. According to National Bureau of Investigation (NNI) Director Zoltan Csizner, all suspects belong to the same gang that lived among homeless people in the district’s wooded area.

He said that the Hungarian police had therefore requested international help. The criminal group committed several serious crimes. Three gang members were arrested last spring for a series of armed robberies and are still in custody.

The group’s leader and two of his helpers were arrested on August 4 and another three persons were arrested later, so we currently have six suspects in custody,” the NNI director told a press conference.
