Palme case strain telling
NZPA-AP Stockholm A dozen police detectives, citing general “discontent,” have quit the investigation into the assassination of the Swedish Premier, Olof Palme. The head of a judicial commission appointed to study security issues related to the case, Per-Erik Nilsson, said he regretted the resignations. “It is a considerable disadvantage,” he said. “It is regrettable with such tensions, but ... (it) has been a physically and psychologically strenuous investigation.” Mr Nilsson also said there had been divisions among the police force on how to perform the investigation. Mr Palme was shot dead at close range as he and his wife walked home unguarded from a movie in Stockholm on February 28.
The murder has led to Sweden’s biggest criminal investigation, but no suspects are in custody.
