Attorney General Lennart Guné announced this week that the Palme murder case is again classified as unsolved, following his revision that removes Stig Engström as the identified perpetrator and ends plans to reopen the preliminary investigation.Guné said inconsistencies in witness accounts, questions about timeline and motive, and a Lund University-linked academic review undermine the case against Engström, who died by suicide in 2000 and could not be tried; he wrote, "based on the investigative material now available it is not possible to prove who the perpetrator is and further investigation cannot be expected to change the evidentiary situation in a decisive way."The reversal recalled the June 2020 naming of Engström by special prosecutor Krister Petersson — a move tied to Thomas Pettersson's book and its Netflix adaptation that provoked outrage — and prompted calls from former investigator Dag Andersson for renewed work on the South Africa track and advanced DNA analysis, while journalists and relatives offered mixed reactions.
