Who killed Olof Palme? Thirty-four years after the Swedish prime minister was killed, Swedes hope finally to find out who shot him dead as he walked home from a cinema with his wife and son
FILE PHOTO: Roses are laid on a plaque marking the location where Swedish Prime Minister Olof Palme was shot and killed 25 years ago on a street in Stockholm February 28, 2011. Palme was shot on his way home from a movie theatre and the case remains unsolved. The plaque reads"In this place Sweden's Prime Minister Olof Palme was murdered on February 28, 1986.
The failure to solve the case, despite Sweden’s biggest ever manhunt, has long caused unease in a nation that prides itself on its openness and tolerance. The comment focused attention on one suspect - a graphic designer known as “Skandia-man” who is known to have been present at the scene of the murder and died in 2000.
Palme, a Social Democrat, was prime minister between 1969 and 1976 and between 1982 and 1986. Some hail him as the architect of modern Sweden but conservatives hated his anti-colonial views and criticism of the United States.
