Vlado Taneski (Macedonian: Владо Танески; 1952 – 23 June 2008) was a Macedonian journalist and serial killer. He was arrested in June 2008 in Kičevo, his hometown, for the murders of two women on whose deaths he had also covered in-depth in freelance articles; when arrested he was also being investigated over the death of an additional woman. These articles had aroused the suspicion of the police as they contained information which had not been released to the public. After DNA results connected Taneski to the murders, he was arrested on 20 June 2008 and imprisoned on 22 June. Taneski was found dead in his cell the following morning, after an apparent suicide.
