David Bonola was a handyman for Orsolya Gaal and the two had an on-and-off intimate relationship for two years, police said.
The two allegedly reunited early in the month of April, but their relationship was considered at an end at the time of Gaal's death, police said.
The knife was consistent with other knives in the home and was recovered on the scene by police. Bonola allegedly then placed Gaal's body in a hockey duffel bag belonging to her son. Video evidence shows him rolling the bag down the sidewalk in Queens, leaving a bloody trail in its wake. Bonola was allegedly treated on Saturday at a local medical institution for wounds in both hands, which police believe Gaal gave him during a"violent struggle" for her life.
