Slovakia's Supreme Court has cancelled the acquittal of a businessman accused of ordering the killing of a journalist and his fiancée.
Journalist Jan Kuciak and Martina Kusnirova were killed in February 2018. Kuciak had been investigating claims of corruption before his death.
The crime triggered protests and the resignation of the then-prime minister.
Marian Kocner, a focus of Kuciak's investigative reporting, was acquitted of the charge in September.
Judges then found that prosecutors had failed to prove that the high-profile businessman and another defendant, Alena Zsuzsova, had ordered the killings.
