Police in Macedonia have arrested a journalist on suspicion that he is behind three murders he reported on.
The journalist, Vlado Taneski, is accused of raping, torturing and killing three elderly women in the south-western town of Kicevo. Macedonian police began to suspect him after he included details in his reports that they had not made public.
Other men have reportedly already been convicted of the first two murders. The third was committed last month.
All the women apparently had similarities to the suspect’s late mother, with whom he reportedly had a poor relationship.
The obligatory quote from a colleague about what an exceptional, quiet guy he is – caps off the article. You have to wonder if there ever was an axe murderer who spent time looking publicly disturbed?
Where’s shield laws when you need them?
“You have to wonder if there ever was an axe murderer who spent time looking publicly disturbed?”
Well, there is always Bush.
Sounds like an upscale of the Bay Area famous or infamous Zodiac killer in its own right
“Do you think he killed Buckwheat?”
“Oh yes, definitely; that’s all he ever talked about.”
Wtf? This post has been up here for hours, and nobody has yet suggested that Mr. Traneski sexually abused and murdered the elderly women because his Jeebus told him to? I mean, come on! The guy’s from Macedonia! He’s got to be a demented Xhristian! Right?
What about Dvorak’s Law? Think about Dvorak’s Law, for God’s sake!!

Don’t go paranoid now MM. Not everything is the fault of rabid religious fanatics. Much evil is perpetrated by a more low key, thoughtful kind of maniac…
You just have to realize..that a lot us think that talking to all powerful invisible father figures shows a certain pre-disposition towards…well…a loose hold on reality might be a polite way to put it..^_^
It doesn’t mean that in other ways they may not be very bright…even quiet people who wouldn’t harm a fly….^_^
Oh..also I note the line about 2 other people already being convicted for a couple of these murders. Nice to know the Macedonian justice system is every bit as good as ours…..

You might want to learn a little about spirituality and religion, son. If you’re under the delusion that it’s about “talking to all powerful invisible father figure”, man, do you have a lot to learn.
Stop getting your religious education from Doonesbury and The Dummies’ Guide to Richard Dawkins, and perhaps your eyes will be opened.
Maybe.
I realize the peer pressure you’re under.
UFB, I can’t believe religion got drug into this thread. There is always the possibility that this individual did have an imaginary friend that told him to do this.

Dvorak’s Law, Bro. Dvorak’s Law. Godwin’s a pussy. Dvorak’s Law rules all internet threads. At least here on dvorak dot org slash blog.
A sick bastard. Probably a good condiment type.
