Swedish police identify Lindh suspect; euro referendum goes ahead
EFLSwedish police say they have identified a man they want to question in connection with the killing of Foreign Minister Anna Lindh in the capital, Stockholm. A police spokesman told the BBC that the man is in his 30s, has long dark hair and is said to be psychologically disturbed. Police say they have identified a suspect from fingerprints found at the scene of the crime. Investigators hope that the knife used and clothes worn by the killer, both of which have been found, will yield vital clues that will lead to his apprehension. Despite the murder, the authorities have announced that the referendum on whether to join the European single currency will go ahead as planned on Sunday. Lindhâs death has led to the suspension of the Yes and No campaigns ahead of the referendum and at the moment the polls suggest that the nay-sayers remain in front, but there is speculation that a wave of sympathy for Lindh could alter that. Thatâs doubtful. Posted by: Bulldog 2003-09-12 |
