Four suspects to face judge as prosecutors seek new 48‑hour detention in Skopje killings
The Basic Public Prosecutor's Office Skopje will request another 48 hours of custody while investigators collect evidence in two robberies with fatal outcome.
Four men arrested in connection with two deadly robberies in Skopje will be brought before a judge today as prosecutors seek a fresh 48-hour detention order while the investigation continues.
The Basic Public Prosecutor's Office Skopje said it will request the short-term custody order to allow investigators time to gather and secure additional evidence for the two cases.
Prosecutors added that further investigative actions are being carried out.
Case details and arrests
The four suspects — three residents of Skopje and one man from Strumica — are being investigated for two criminal offences of robbery with a fatal outcome, committed on 22 October in the Hrom neighbourhood and on 27 October in Gjorce Petrov.
The arrests were carried out in coordination with the prosecutor's office, following previously issued orders intended to secure and complete the evidentiary material for the next stages of the proceedings.
The court will now consider the prosecutor’s request for 48 hours of detention while authorities continue evidence collection and investigative steps. Officials have not released further operational details.
