Case 108
The Kicevo Monster
When three women – Mitra Simjanoska, Ljubica Licoska and Zivana Temelkoska – are murdered in the Macedonian city of Kicevo, local journalist Vlado Taneski takes it upon himself to cover the stories in detail. Unbeknownst to him, police set their eyes on an unlikely suspect and start closing in to make an arrest.
If their suspicions are correct, it will be a news story the people of Kicevo won’t ever forget.
