Olof Palme: Is the 34-year mystery of who killed Sweden’s PM about to be solved?

It has been an open wound for all Swedish people. I have lived my entire adult life with this murder mystery.

The 34-year mystery of who shot Sweden’s Social Democrat prime minister Olof Palme could be solved later as the man in charge of the investigation presents his conclusion.

Mr Palme was shot dead in central Stockholm in 1986 after going to the cinema with his wife and son.

The murder sparked a massive manhunt and a number of conspiracy theories involving shadowy forces ranging from the CIA and Kurdish separatists to the South African security services.

Mr Palme 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.

So many years after the killing, few Swedes had expected a resolution of the nation’s most high-profile murder case, and prosecutor Krister Petersson’s announcement in February that he was close to wrapping it up ignited a storm of debate.

The murder enquiry and investigation is one of the largest in the world ever.

In 30 minutes we will after 34 years know what happened and who killed the Swedish Prime Minister. Maybe.
