Murder Story

Marinko Magda (born November 30, 1963), also recorded in Hungarian as Magda Marinkó, is a Serbian mass murderer who killed 13 people in Serbia and Hungary.

In 1994 he killed five people in the town of Subotica: Milan Petrić, Stana Petrić, Dane Petrić, Josip Agatić and Verica Agatić.

On January 13, 1994, in Szeged, Hungary, the 42-year-old Bálint Z. Nagy, his 42-year-old wife, and their 16- and 10-year-old children were killed in their apartment. On January 28, 1994, the Hungarian police arrested Marinko Magda as the main suspect in the murder of the Nagy family. An investigation revealed that the same weapon used in the Nagy case was used to kill a Hungarian couple, Horváth Antal and his wife, and Dragutin Kujundžić on December 20, 1993, in Kecskemét, Hungary.

Magda received a life sentence for killing three people in 1995. Before 1998, life sentences in that system were at minimum 25–30 years, so he was expected to remain behind bars until at least 2020 unless he died beforehand.

In 2005 he was fined 40,000 HUF for having attacked a prison guard 18 months earlier. If he failed to pay that fine, his imprisonment would be extended by 200 days.
