Not only Hojer and Straka. How Jiří Markovič uncovered the murderer who escaped justice for 12 years

The article discusses the case of two schoolgirls in Prague who were murdered in 1968 and how detective Jiří Markovič eventually solved the case after twelve years.

The article recounts the tragic story of two schoolgirls, Jana Unčovská and Jarmila Kamenovová, who were murdered on a fateful day in July 1968 while on their way to a swimming pool in Prokopské údolí, Prague. The young girls, only thirteen at the time, disappeared without a trace, and their murder remained unresolved for over a decade. František Zenker, then eighteen years old, was behind the heinous crime, motivated by chance and a desire to silence the witnesses. The case became a chilling reminder of both the fragility of youth and the failures of the justice system that allowed such a significant lapse.
