Suspect is arrested for the murder of Queens mom Orsolya Gaal

The 44-year-old man charged with murdering Queens mother Orsolya Gaal left adoring comments on her Facebook page telling her she was the most beautiful woman and had the ‘look of love’, two years before allegedly stabbing her in a frenzy in her basement.

David Bonola, 44, was charged on Thursday with murder, criminal tampering and criminal possession of a weapon. He made a full confession to killing Orsolya Gaal after being arrested.

It is believed that the pair were romantically involved at some time.

Facebook posts from May 2020 show a period of around ten days during which they flirted in the comments section of her images.

The posts were just two weeks before Gaal’s husband reported her missing briefly on May 29, 2020 and are also around the same time she was learning to speak Spanish.

On Thursday, Bonola was taken to the 112th Precinct in Forest Hills, Queens, to be taken for processing.

The handyman is believed to live in Richmond Hill, a neighborhood not far from Gaal’s home which she shared with her husband Howard and their two sons.

She returned home shortly afterwards. It’s unclear how much contact the pair had after then, on social media or in real life. The NYPD is scheduled to give a press briefing ay 11.30am later today.

Bonola is understood to be in custody at the 112th Precinct in Queens.
