Swede Police Arrest Lindh Suspect
2003-09-16
Police late Tuesday arrested a suspect in the stabbing death of Foreign Minister Anna Lindh, after issuing an international alert with the photo of the attacker. The suspect was described as a Swedish man, but wasn't further identified. He was detained in near a restaurant in Solna, a suburb of the capital, Stockholm, police spokeswoman Stina Wessling told The Associated Press. Police said that the suspect looks similar to the picture that was circulating and they were trying to determine if it's the same person. When asked if the arrested man was the one in the pictures, police spokesman Leif Jennekvisthe said the suspect was "not entirely different." The suspect will undergo DNA testing to see if his matches genetic material recovered from a baseball cap found near the scene. Police also recovered DNA from the knife, but the amount was too small for immediate use and was still undergoing processing. "It was not a dramatic arrest," she said, adding that plain clothes officers arrested the unarmed Swede without incident.
