Jeno Koka’s killers shot him in the chest moments after he had bid good night to his wife Eva and stepped from his house on his way to a shift at the nearby pharmaceutical factory where he worked.
The 54-year-old grandfather bled to death only a few paces from his doorstep.
Although Koka’s wife said she never heard the shot that felled her husband, hundreds of thousands of others across Hungary did.
Koka’s murder on April 22 was the fifth in recent months of a member of Hungary’s 600,000-strong Roma community.

I had tried to put too much into the day; like an overfilled suitcase that won’t close, bits of my life were bursting out of the seams, trailing behind me in the street. I had the slightly unfocussed look of someone who is almost on top of things. Delayed leaving work, I was late getting to the BBC and late arriving at the Buddhist Centre. As I drove in, I reflected that this was not the best night to welcome four visitors to the continuation Buddhism class – especially when one of them was Subhuti, the man who has arguably done more to shape the FWBO than any other individual. I found them in Earth:
- Subhuti, would you like to lead anything?
- I’d like not to lead anything
(Damn, I was going to have to lead the meditation. Why had I let Hasavajra have his turn last week?)
Subhuti was in Manchester with two mitras from Hungary, Janesh and Tibor, who work with the marginalised gypsy community. To address issues of exclusion, they founded the Ambedkar High School, named after Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar.

TISZALOK, Hungary - Jeno Koka was a doting grandfather and dedicated worker on his way to his night-shift job at a chemical plant last week when he was shot dead at his doorstep. To his killer, he was just a Gypsy, and that seems to have been reason enough.
