An Irishman accused of murdering a US nurse in Budapest has told a court that his parents have bought him an apartment in the Hungarian capital in an effort to help him get bail.

Ali Bracken was in court to hear the pre-trial evidence in the case against the man accused of killing Mackenzie Michelski in what he claims was a sex game gone wrong.

You're listening to Crime World, a podcast from crimeworld.com.

So I suffer really badly from FOMO when it comes to sort of stories that I'm not on.

Okay.

I was texting you, asking you about Budapest and this story that you travelled over to attend the, is it the opening of the trial or is it pre-trial still?

Okay.

Yeah.

I was just dying to know.

But anyway, you can only tell us a certain amount because obviously you can't identify the individual.

Just go back over the story.

We've spoken about it before in the podcast, but just to save anybody having to rewind.

And he's been charged with murder.

Now, he has claimed that in court that she was killed by accident, basically, during sort of... Yeah, so he's... PDSM.

PD?

She asked for this, that he wouldn't, shouldn't really have got involved in it, but he did because she wanted that.

OK, so we can't name him.
