Sweden's deadly problem with hand grenades | ||
2018-04-20 | ||
[BBC] A stark rise in incidents involving hand grenade explosions has become emblematic of the wider rise in violent crime in Swedish cities, report James Clayton and Caitlin Hanrahan for BBC Newsnight. Daniel Cuevas Zuniga was cycling home from a night shift in southern Stockholm in January when he stopped to pick up an object on the path. Police believe the 63 year old, who worked at an elderly people's home, thought the device was a toy. But it was a hand grenade, which exploded as he touched it and killed him almost immediately. His wife, Wanna, was riding ahead of him near Varby railway station. She was knocked to the ground by the blast. Shrapnel marks can still be seen on a nearby lamppost. "How could a hand grenade be on the bike path?" Wanna said later in an interview with local media. "My view on Sweden has changed. I really wonder how such a thing could happen... I am completely traumatized." The number of explosions caused by hand grenades has increased in Sweden in recent years. There were fewer than five in 2014 but at least 20 in 2017, and a further 39 grenades were seized by police.
