New Suspect Held in Foreign Minister’s Death
From Times Wire Reports
In an abrupt about-face, Swedish police freed one suspect and arrested another in the stabbing death of Foreign Minister Anna Lindh.
Authorities would not say why the 35-year-old drifter picked up last week was let go, but they said evidence against the new suspect was stronger than any information they had before.
Police would say only that the new suspect was arrested without incident in Stockholm.
Lindh was fatally stabbed in a department store Sept. 10.
