Sweden drops probe into unsolved 1986 murder of PM Olof Palme

by

Sweden has dropped its investigation into the murder mystery of former Prime Minister Olof Palme, who was shot dead 34 years ago in Stockholm city centre.
Sweden’s prosecutor on Wednesday named the main suspect in the murder of Palme and then closed the 34-year old case.
But the locking away the files looks unlikely to give the country closure.
Al Jazeera’s Paul Rhys reports from Stockholm, Sweden.
