The trial over last year’s murder of 14-year-old Vanja Gjorchevska and 74-year-old Panche Zhezhovski has been postponed to September 20, after the Skopje-based Criminal Court decided on Wednesday to consolidate the proceedings for the defendants in the case.
The prosecution insisted on merging the two charges because of their connection to the same criminal event.
Sasho Gjorchevski, the father of the murdered 14-year-old Vanja Gjorchevska, who is also among the accused, was brought to court today, but he has been under house arrest for some time.
The defendants Vlatko Keshishov, Velibor Manev and Bore Videvski, accused of participating in the crimes, were also brought to court. Only the first defendant, Ljupcho Palevski-Palco, was not in court, because the charges were not joined.
