        Nope. I don't have first clue about hockey. Never cared for that sport at all. I know Forsberg is one of them, but that's only because I know how much money he has and what he does with it.

              Ecth, noone knows, Christer Pettersson got arrested for the murder and was tried in court. He got aquitted.

              The police bungled the investigation from day 1 and has since then not managed to come up with anything. The inability to come up with anything is quite astounding, even for the swedish police.

              The various committes have also been rather inept, they have refused to look into the suspicious actions taken by some policemen just before the murder took place for instance.

              This thing stinks to high heaven, like the murder of JFK, his brother and Martin Luther King.

                  Christer Pettersson, an alco bum with a criminal record a mile long shot Palme. However, the murder was ordered by Ingvar Carlsson (second honcho of the Social Democrats at the time) who then promptly went on to become prime minister. It was this close that the story got out, because Lisbeth Palme, OP:s widow wouldn't play ball despite a huge handout from the Party and had the gall to point Christer Pettersson out during the trial, but the Social Democrats pulled every string with the court and got him of somehow.

                  A fascinating piece of modern Swedish history. The court records are sealed to the year 2088, so it'll be some time till someone can write the definitive story on the subject.

                      He was drunk. That'll teach them not to leave loose ends.

                        Naah, Ingvar Carlsson could bore the stripes off a zebra, but he´s no killer. Besides I don´t think he has the imagination to think it up...

                            He has confessed to this on several occasions, usually when crap media like TV3 pay him to confess and then make a big scoop of it...
