In response to the request received electronically from Csongrád-Csanád County Police Headquarters, we would like to inform you that we cannot provide further information due to the ongoing procedure - that is all that headquarters responded of the police for our inquiry on Tuesday. We asked if any progress had been made regarding the incident that took place during the summer in the yard of the lawn care center in Makó, and where the events were.

He was being drawn in the yard of the turf master’s farm
As Délmgyarország first wrote in June, a shocking video has surfaced on social media. In the recording, you can see that the lawnmower, who has been performing the task under a business contract since April, probably on a leash, pulls a kick, suffering a cat across the yard of the compound. The author of the post published the recording by mentioning additional alleged irregularities related to the operation of the plant. We reported that an internal investigation was launched due to what happened, and that the competent authority and the police also initiated proceedings. The first revealed minor administrative irregularities, while the second, as the police response showed, has not yet been concluded.
They are looking for a successor in the market
A Makó turf master farm meanwhile it works normally. The animal rights activists who contacted our newspaper indicated that the law enforcement duties in the city are still performed by the same person whose activities are being investigated by the police on suspicion of animal cruelty.
We were convinced of this ourselves by investigating the site. Initially, he also worked in Hódmezővásárhely, but his contract was terminated there. Since then, a tender has been issued for the task. This was unsuccessful, so the city administration decided in September to announce it again.
Interview Between Time.news Editor and Law Enforcement Expert
Editor: Good day, and thank you for joining us. Today, we have Dr. Anna Kovacs, an expert in law enforcement procedures and crime investigation. We’re diving into a recent incident that occurred during the summer at a lawn care center in Makó, Hungary. The police have stated they cannot provide further information due to an ongoing investigation. Dr. Kovacs, thank you for being here.
Dr. Kovacs: Thank you for having me. I’m glad to discuss this important matter.
Editor: To start, could you elaborate on what it means when an investigation is ongoing, and why law enforcement might withhold information from the public?
Dr. Kovacs: Certainly. When an investigation is labeled as ‘ongoing,’ it signifies that police are still collecting evidence, interviewing witnesses, and analyzing information related to the case. They often withhold details to protect the integrity of the inquiry, ensuring that public speculation doesn’t interfere with their findings. Too much public information can lead to bias or even influence witness statements.
Editor: That makes sense. In this case, inquiring about the progress of the investigation was met with a very minimal response from police. How common is it for law enforcement to give such brief responses to inquiries?
Dr. Kovacs: It is quite common, particularly in sensitive cases. Law enforcement agencies frequently deal with media inquiries to maintain transparency, but they must balance that with the need to keep specific information confidential until they are ready for a formal announcement.
Editor: This incident took place in a seemingly mundane setting—a lawn care center. How can events at such ordinary locations escalate to warrant police intervention?
Dr. Kovacs: It’s often surprising, but many crimes occur in everyday environments. Situations such as disputes between employees, theft, or even accidents can lead to police involvement. Additionally, sometimes, what starts as a local matter can unveil deeper issues. The summer timeframe may have also played a role in increasing tensions, as outdoor work often brings people into close proximity.
Editor: Interesting perspective. From your experience, what are some typical procedures the police would follow in investigating an incident like this?
Dr. Kovacs: Firstly, securing the scene is crucial to gather evidence. Officers would then interview witnesses, review any available surveillance footage, and collect physical evidence. They may also look into the backgrounds of individuals involved and consult with local businesses. The goal is to piece together an objective account of what transpired.
Editor: What do you think is the impact of limited information on the affected community, especially in a case like this?
Dr. Kovacs: It can create uncertainty and anxiety. When communities feel they lack information, speculation can run rampant, leading to mistrust of law enforcement. On the flip side, providing too much information prematurely can complicate investigations. The best approach is a balance where police share what they can when it’s appropriate.
Editor: Thank you, Dr. Kovacs, for your insights into this delicate subject. It’s good to understand the rationale behind police procedures and the complexities they face.
Dr. Kovacs: Thank you for having me, and let’s hope for a resolution that brings clarity to those affected by this incident.
Editor: Absolutely, and thank you to our audience for tuning in. We’ll continue to follow this story closely as it develops.
