Skopje, 25 April 2024 (MIA) - The Supreme Court accepted Thursday the complaint of Aleksandar Gjorchevski, the father of murdered 14-year-old Vanja Gjorchevska, and cancelled his detention, while ordering house arrest and precautionary measures.

Today's session was the second Supreme Court public session regarding the detention of Vanja's father, after the March rejection of the appeal against the detention order, upon a decision by the Appellate Court.

Vanja Gjorchevska was found dead near Skopje on December 3 after she was reported missing on November 27, and Panche Zhezhovski, 74, was found dead near Veles on December 3 after he was reported missing on November 24.

Prime suspect in the case, Ljupcho Palevski-Palcho, who has been charged with abduction and murder, is in detention in Turkey until extradition is effected. Suspects Velibor Manev, Vlatko Keshishov and Bore Videvski have been charged with abduction and accessory to murder, and are in detention in Skopje. Vanja's father Aleksandar Gjorchevski, who is also in detention, is suspected of sharing information over his daughter's morning routine and has been charged with accessory to abduction.

The Skopje-based Criminal Court, upon proposal of a competent prosecutor, cancelled the detention of Stefan Dimovski, the person who drove Ljupcho Palevski - Palcho, the prime suspect in the murder of Vanja Gjorchevska and Panche Zhezhovski, from Serbia to Turkey.

Precautionary measures have been ordered against Stefan Dimovski, who is suspected of assisting escape. Under the precautionary measures the suspect is prohibited from leaving their place of residence, will have their travel documents seized, as well as the driving license, and will have to appear in court when summoned.
