A former ‘employee of the year’ faces life in jail for killing two colleagues.

Hotel receptionist Attila Ban, 32, murdered Tibor Vass and Alice Adams, both 20, at the Radisson hotel in Heathrow Airport where all three worked, in August last year.

Ban hid the body of Mr Vass in his divan bed and then crawled into the base, from where he evaded police for two days.

When Ban emerged from his hiding place he cut his wrists and neck in a failed suicide bid.

The incident happened at the Radisson Edwardian Hotel, in west London.

Police were called after Ban updated his Facebook wall saying: “I would like to wake up from this nightmare” and all three failed to turn up for work.

They found Mr Vass naked on the double bed with two stab wounds. On the living-room floor, they found Miss Adams. She was dressed and had been stabbed 22 times.

Mum Sara Adams said: “Alice loved and cared for everyone she ever met, friends and strangers alike.

“It breaks my heart to know that the last thing she knew was hatred and violence.

“The most difficult thing to cope with is not knowing exactly what happened to my lovely Alice that night.

“Horrific as it would be to hear, the truth would be preferable to the constant struggle going on in my mind of trying to figure out the sequence of events leading up to Alice’s murder.”
