A Macedonian journalist suspected raping and killing at least at two women and then reporting on the crimes committed suicide in jail, news reports said Monday, according to Deutsche Presse-Agentur (DPA).
Vlado Tanevski, a correspondent for several newspapers including the Utrinski Vesnik daily, was found drowned in a bucket of water, Macedonian media quoted police as saying. There was no evidence he was subjected to outside force, the reports said.
Tanevski aroused suspicion after publishing articles on the slayings with details that only police and the killer could know. He was arrested Friday and charged with killing two elderly women in the western town of Kicevo. Investigators say he may have killed two more.
