From the June 23 International Herald Tribune:

A reporter accused of brutally murdering elderly women in cases he covered for his newspaper was found drowned in a bucket of water in a prison bathroom on Monday, police said.

Vlado Taneski, 56, died several hours after being placed in prison custody, police said. He had been charged with two murders and suspected in a third.

Police said a handwritten note was found in Taneski's prison cell, under the bed pillow, saying: "I did not commit these murders." ...

Taneski emerged as a suspect after reporting details of the murders in the national daily Utrinski Vesnik that had not been made public, police said. Taneski's DNA was then found on the bodies of two of the victims, police said. He was arrested in Kicevo on Friday.
