Taneski was covering a series of brutal murders of elderly women, three of them. His articles were very detailed and showed much insight into the murderer. People were following his stories with interest, hoping to find the killer.

It appears that the authorities did find the killer — and it was the same journalist updating everyone on the murderer. Yes, Taneski apparently did the killings. His articles contained details that only the killer could have known about, which tipped off the authorities. Tests have shown his DNA on two of the bodies, though it's not yet been shown he killed the third.

The known victims were all from his hometown of Kicevo, which is about 120 kilometers from Skopje. The murders themselves were brutal, and the victims all bore a strong resemblance to Taneski's late mother, whom he didn't get along with.
