Attila Ban guilty of murdering Heathrow hotel colleagues

A Heathrow airport hotel receptionist who hid in a bed for two days after killing two of his colleagues has been found guilty of their murder. Attila Ban, 32, stabbed to death Tibor Vass and Alice Adams in the Radisson Edwardian Hotel's staff accommodation last August, the Old Bailey heard. Ban evaded police, investigators and a pathologist by climbing into a divan bed, which Mr Vass's body was lying on. Miss Adams had been stabbed 22 times. All three had worked at the hotel.

Ban had denied murder but admitted manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility. Mr Vass, a student from Hungary, had been due to return home. The court heard that Ban, who is also Hungarian, had developed a crush on Mr Vass and was devastated when he found out that he was due to leave. Mr Vass was heterosexual and did not return his feelings.
