Police in Macedonia have arrested a journalist on suspicion that he was behind three murder cases he’d been reporting on. The journalist, Vlado Taneski, is accused of kidnapping, abusing and raping three women. Andrew Craig reports. Vlado Taneski is the correspondent for a Macedonia national newspaper in the town of Kicevo. [10] A police spokesman said suspicion fell upon him when his reports included details of murders that the police themselves had not disclosed. The three cases involved elderly women who were raped and mutilated, then naked bodies were cut into pieces and dumped into plastic bags. The spokesman said Mr. Taneski’s DNA appeared to be linked to the murdered women. He is also suspected over the disappearance of another woman who has been missing for several years. The police say that all the women bore similarities to Mr. Taneski’s late mother with whom he had had a troubled relationship.
