North Macedonia is shaken to its core by a horrific double murder that has rocked the city of Prilep and the entire country. An uncle lured his 43-year-old nephew and the nephew’s 13-year-old son into his home, brutally killed them both, and then took his own life. Police responded after a call from the victim’s wife, but the man threatened them with firearms and explosives before committing suicide. Three lifeless bodies were found in the family home in the city center, with the motive reportedly linked to unresolved property disputes within the family. This tragedy has left not only Prilep but all of North Macedonia in shock and mourning.

Police had to break down the door and even threw a bomb that, luckily, did not explode, while the man opened fire on them. Emergency teams confirmed the deaths around 1:30 AM. The investigation is ongoing, and the public demands answers on how such a nightmare could unfold.
