According to the anthropologist mentioned above the duke suffered 23 wounds from swords, some which hit the head were lethal in themselves. His nose was cut off, both arms were slashed several times just as the left thigh. He was attacked from all sides, there were no sign of a duel.
The recent examination confirmed his observations, added some more and determined a possible scenario how the murder went down. First Béla was stabbed in the back with a dagger, between the 11th and 12th vertebrae, effectively disabling his legs. He fell to the ground and was surrounded and chopped to death. First he held his arms as a defense but after several slashes he couldn't do that anymore and they started to attack his head cutting out pieces from the skull and slitting it several places. Postmortem they cut his nose off and pierced his eyes out.
The crime left without a punishment, just another chapter in the tragic history of the House of Árpád.
