According to a police source, the furious handyman suspected of murdering his on-off lover Orsolya Gaal said he killed her after finding she was messaging another guy.
David Bonola said he had been having an affair with the married mother-of-two on and off for the previous two years, according to an anonymous senior NYPD supervisor. Bonola, 44, said he saw text exchanges between Orsolya Gaal and another man and drove to her Forest Hills house in the early hours of Saturday morning to confront her after she arrived home from an event.

Per The Independent, after an altercation with Orsolya Gaal, Bonola reportedly slit his lover's neck and stabbed her more than 50 times. According to authorities, he then packed the corpse inside her son's hockey duffle bag, dragged it to Forest Park, and discarded it there.
Bonola had worked as a handyman for Orsolya Gaal's family and the two had been in a "intimate relationship" for the last two years, according to police. According to authorities, the relationship had just ended, but it is unclear who ended it. New information on the horrible murder of Queens mother Orsolya Gaal was released on Friday, ranging from how investigators ingeniously gathered critical evidence to the measures the suspect's lawyer is trying to defend the case.
According to law enforcement officials and witnesses, NYPD officers took up a pair of bloodied brown boots from a sanitation truck after it moved away from the suspect's home on Tuesday, three days after police believe David Bonola butchered Orsolya Gaal in her Forest Hills home.
Law enforcement officers said Bonola was already on their radar when it was discovered that he had done work at Gaal's house and had an intimate relationship with her. Sources stated they were watching his house and waiting for his garbage to be picked up so they could search it for clues. It's unclear why officers waited until the vehicle left the house to seize the shoes.
Sources said Bonola's bloodied boots, which he reportedly wore while stabbing Gaal approximately 60 times, were examined for DNA and are a key piece of evidence in the case being built against him. Meanwhile, the Queens Defenders, a non-profit that is representing Bonola for free, has hired a private investigator, who was seen knocking on doors near Gaal's house on Friday afternoon.
When asked by The New York Post, the private eye, who was hired by the public defense through J&L investigations, declined to speak although he was overheard asking neighbors whether they knew how to contact Gaal's family.

Orsolya Gaal Corpse Discovery
Glenn Van Nostrand, 51, was walking his two Rhodesian Ridgebacks in the vicinity when he came upon the bag on a sidewalk near the Jackie Robinson Parkway a few hours later. Nostrand told The US Sun that seeing garbage and other stuff left by the busy highway isn't unusual, but something about the bag caught his eye - and aroused his interest.
Nostrand kept walking in the direction of the sports bag. As he neared, his dogs grew more active and heightened, virtually tugging him towards it, according to the Queens native. But it wasn't until Nostrand was standing over the bag that he observed something genuinely troubling: a pool of blood pouring from the bottom, according to Nostrand, who has weak eyesight in his left eye.
He decided to poke the bag with the side of his leg, and he was surprised to feel something heavy. Nostrand took a few more steps to open the bag. He observed a woman's waist, a belt, and black ankle-length slim pants. He claimed the corpse was in the fetal position and had been placed head-first in the bag. He probed the body with two fingers and instantly moved aside and contacted 911 after seeing it was chilly to the touch. At 8:02 a.m., dispatchers got the call.
Nostrand took a few shots of the bag while waiting for the cops to come. Nostrand waited for police to come and observed as an officer opened the bag and glanced inside, allegedly screaming, "Woah!" A flurry of emergency vehicles, including firetrucks and EMTs, arrived on the site shortly after. One official approached Nostrand, apparently recognizing his state of shock, and asked if he needed to talk to someone about the atrocities he'd just witnessed. Nostrand told the official that he was alright.
He observed something else peculiar beneath the Robinson Overpass as he was leaving the scene of his horrifying early-morning discovery: a "purplish" patch on the ground that he identified as blood.
Nostrand and the cops discovered a number of additional dark red streaks across Metropolitan Avenue while chasing down a group of detectives. The path, investigators discovered, stretched for more than half a mile, leading back to Orsolya Gaal's $2 million Tudor-style home on Juno Street, where she resided with her husband and two teenage children.
Orsolya Gaal was nowhere to be seen when officers knocked on the door. Her confused 13-year-old son responded, saying his father and elder brother were out of town and he "had no idea" where his mother was.
