COLD BLOOD



Anna Lindh's killer may be caught on camera

As the hunt for the killer of Swedish foreign minister Anna Lindh intensified as the country's tabloid newspapers published a CCTV pic ture of the man who has emerged as the main suspect, enraging the police who claimed the move might prejudice potential witnesses.
Police appear to have no idea who the man in the photo is and admit they have been unable to pull any usable fingerprints from the knife used.
Analysts said that Lindh, the leading pro-euro campaigner, was perceived by many in Sweden to be a martyr to the single currency despite the fact that the identity of her assassin, and his motives, remains unknown.
Sweden voted no to the Euro today.

[The local version of "Wanted" says the perpetrator is most likely a lone guy, psychopath or similar, that for some reason didnt' like Anna and did it because he "happened" to have an opportunity.
On the other hand, the man had many layers of jackets (some of which were discarded in doorways as he ran away; the trail of him is dead after he leaves the store), a cap to hide his face from cameras, no fingerprints were left on the knife, and he managed to hit pretty much every part of the human body that pumps large amount of blood. In other words, a professional hit can not be ruled out.
