Expat mother who died in house fire in Budapest had been living in fear for a long time 😔

A female foreign national died in Budapest, with initial investigations showing no foul play. However, it was revealed that she had previously filed complaints against her ex-husband for abuse, which the police did not follow up. After CCTV footage emerged, the ex-husband was detained as a suspect. The case highlights significant shortcomings in the Hungarian judicial system regarding domestic violence, particularly for foreign victims. The victim had lived in fear and faced numerous obstacles in seeking help, with the police often dismissing her complaints. Women's rights organizations are advocating for better protection and enforcement of restraining orders.
