Other men have reportedly already been convicted of the first two murders. The third was committed last month.

That's some mighty fine court work there Lou

FTA: Mr Taneski's editor at the Utrinski Vesnik newspaper told the Associated Press: "We are all shocked with this. I know him as an exceptionally quiet man and I would never believe that he is capable of doing something like that."

It's the quiet ones that can be the worst.

Macedonian police began to suspect him after he included details in his reports that they had not made public.

Gyrfalcon [TotalFark] 2008-06-21 11:14:21 PM  
He didn't "make up" anything, subby, those stories were 100% true. He told everything exactly as it happened, and you can't expect anything else from a journalist. This guy ought to win the Macedonian equivalent of the Pulitzer Prize...just before they throw the switch.

And why o why do people always say "I never suspected him...he was so polite and quiet...he kept to himself."? DUH! If he was a drooling hunchbacked maniac with three eyes who lurched up and down the street with an axe in one hand and a bag full of body parts in the other, the cops would catch him in no time!

A long time ago, a politician spent a lot of money promoting the idea that he was a good clean family man. Then some journalist printed the facts about his mistresses and illegitimate children. And then he decided to spread the idea that journalists are liars.

I guess it works if you're young enough or stupid enough.

I'm reserving judgment until they actually find some proof. This reminds me of when famous author Douglas Preston (The Relic, Riptide, Thunderhead) was working on a novel about the famous serial killings in Florence, he was placed under suspicion of the murders. The police became suspicious when they discovered that he had much information about the killings that they did not have. It later turned out that, unlike the police, Douglas simply did a good job of researching the killings and interviewing witnesses.

There's probably a law against that, too. Hindering the prosecution or some such shiat. Because they can't lock you up for "making the police look bad", no matter how easy it is.

 
tjfly 2008-06-21 11:37:21 PM  
No one read this... "Other men have reportedly already been convicted of the first two murders. The third was committed last month.

Mr Taneski, 56, has not yet been charged with any offence, police said."

If they convicted two other men for the murders already, and now they're suspecting this journalist, then they've got a problem with their conviction "accuracy"... don't they? Who's to say this reporter is guilty of anything??? Jeebus!

 
TrevorP 2008-06-21 11:37:39 PM  
That sounds like something you would see in a Hitchcock film.

Bullshiat I say! I'm willing to bet that while you're busy watching the quiet one, a noisy one will come in and FARKING KILL YOU!

Mr. Carlin, please accept my apologies for mangling that classic.

Vlado Taneski would be an excellent name for a brand of in-line skates.

TrevorP: That sounds like something you would see in a Hitchcock film.

"Strangers on a Train"
"Spellbound"
"The Wrong Man"
"Frenzy"

Anyone else think maybe Hitchcock should have been investigated by the police?

 
sat1va 2008-06-21 11:48:55 PM  
He probably had a good source within the police department that leaked information. The fact they convicted other people for the crimes suggests their justice system is more than a bit shoddy.

Didn't a guy in Poland do the same thing with a mystery-detective novel, and get caught the same way?

/I'm too sleepy to think of an appropriate Polish joke, but I think the victims all had signed first editions of the book.

//I'm so ashamed.

 
Crazy Cat Lady 2008-06-22 12:15:30 AM  
"Other men have reportedly already been convicted of the first two murders. The third was committed last month."

Maybe I'm just tired, but I had to read this three times before I realized they weren't saying a person was committed last month.

GungFu, I don't think it's wrong that you recognized Eddie and Albert. You gotta be aware of this stuff. As I always tell a friend who admires my "bravery" because of my addiction to horror flicks, "Movies aren't scary. Real people are scary."
