A Macedonian journalists charged over the weekend with the rape and murder of two women has killed himself in prison. This was confirmed on Monday by Macedonian police spokesman Ivo Kotevski. Reporter suspected of 2 murders commits suicide Vlado Tanevski, a correspondent for Skopje's Jutarnji List daily, was found dead in his cell in a Tetovo prison. The police said the investigation shows that he "drowned in a bucket of water". No signs of violence against the suspect were detected, the statement adds. On Saturday, Macedonian police arrested Tanevski on suspicion that he murdered at least two women in his native Kicevo, a town in the west of the country. Evidence was gathered linking him to the murders of Zivana Temelkovska, 65, and Mitra Simjanovska, 65. Investigators also suspected that he killed Ljubica Lichovska, 56 and Gorica Pavleska, 79. All four victims came from the same area of Kicevo, had mostly lived alone, and worked as cleaners. Their profile is similar to that of Tanevski's mother, with whom reports say he had "a bad relationship". The women were all abused – some of them raped – before they were brutally murdered. Police said that the cause of death was strangulation in each of the four cases. The bodies were found naked, tied with telephone cables and dumped near the western Macedonian town. Tanevski reported about the murders for his newspaper, and even spoke with the victims' families and officials in charge of investigations. But he became a suspect after police realized that some of the reports contained details about the murders that were never made public.
