Four people have been charged with the killing of investigative journalist Jan Kuciak and his fiancée. The charges come after eight peoples were arrested late last month. The couple was shot dead in February 2018 in what was the first targeted killing of a journalist in the country's history. Slovak prosecutors earlier said they believed Kuciak was killed to stop his investigation. The four people are charged with "premeditated murder and other crimes." Media reports claim the murderer was offered 70,000 euros for the homicide.
