Journalist accused of murder, then wrote a report on it.

A slightly deranged article from BBC states that a Journalist from Macedonia was arrested on accounts that the police suspected the man of reporting on his own murders.

What a delicious plot, you've always heard of this style of reporting in stories, tv, or the movies, but not really in real life. I'm actually pleasently surprised, if a bit disturbed, that a reporter would actually write articles about their own killings, how brazenly bold is that?

The reason the cops arrested the man was because he had details in the article that the police never disclosed. The problem now arrises that they've already convicted 2 men of the previous 2 murders and now is about to convict a third man for the third murder, quite the "sticky situation" for the Macedonian court system, if the reporter does end up being the killer (as opposed to being a really good reporter).

This story caught my eye basically because of the last quote of the article:

Mr Taneski's (the reporter) 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."

Why is it always the "quiet man" that's the murderer? When will we come across an article about a guy that murdered someone (for real), and the neighbor's quote would be:

I've always thought he was gonna kill somebody, yep, I'm just glad it's not me.

I'm just saying.
