Olof Palme murder: Sweden believes it knows who killed PM in 1986
Swedish prosecutors have named the man who they say killed former Swedish prime minister Olof Palme in 1986, ending years of mystery.
They said it was Stig Engstrom, a graphic designer known as "Skandia Man" who killed himself in 2000.
As a result they were closing the investigation into Palme's death, Chief Prosecutor Krister Petersson said.
Palme was shot in the back as he walked home from the cinema with his wife in Stockholm.

Can the phenomenal response to the police killing of George Floyd be channeled to secure lasting political change?by Ed Pilkington
The New Yorker writer Jelani Cobb captured best the sense of wonder at what is happening on the streets of America. He posted a tweet from Mitt Romney, the Republican senator from Utah, which showed the former presidential candidate marching alongside demonstrators under the banner Black Lives Matter.
“Ladies and gentleman,” Cobb remarked. “This is what you call uncharted territory.”
Fifteen days and nights into this nationwide conflagration, the protests following the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis are truly navigating the unknown.

Several Australian gym owners are cutting ties with CrossFit amid an intensifying furore sparked when the fitness brand's US founder, Greg Glassman, wrote an offensive tweet about the killing of George Floyd.
The turmoil has resulted in Mr Glassman announcing on Wednesday morning AEST that he has "decided to retire" and step down as chief executive, with long-standing senior staffer Dave Castro stepping into the position.
"I created a rift in the CrossFit community and unintentionally hurt many of its members," Mr Glassman said in a statement.North Korea might be making millions -- and breaking sanctions -- selling sand. Yes, sand.

It was May of last year when Lucas Kuo and Lauren Sung noticed something strange: more than 100 ships gathering in the waters near Haeju, North Korea.
As part of their work at the Washington-based Center for Advanced Defense Studies (C4ADS), a nonprofit that analyzes and investigates security issues using big data, the two analysts keep an eye on traffic in North Korean waters and further afield in Northeast Asia.
They do this because Pyongyang has been accused of selling coal and other valuable goods, sometimes in very big quantities, on the high seas to get around the prying eyes of customs officers, who must enforce United Nations sanctions on North Korea. Instead of moving goods into a port before trading, North Koreans supposedly just move them from one ship to another at sea and lie about their origins.
