They identified the suspect as Stig Engstrom, also known as "Skandia Man", who killed himself in 2000.
...
Mr Petersson said Stig Engstrom had not initially been a focus for the investigation, but when investigators looked into his background they found he was accustomed to using weapons, having been in the army, and was a member of a shooting club.
In his local area he was also part of a circle of critics of Palme's policies and relatives said he had a negative view of the prime minister.
Engstrom had long running financial problems and a growing problem with alcohol, Mr Petersson said.

A petty criminal was convicted of the killing in July 1989 but the judgment was later overturned, clearing the field for decades of speculation about the involvement of forces ranging from the South African security services to the Swedish military, Kurdish separatists and the CIA.
The unsolved assassination, described by the Swedish prime minister, Stefan Löfven, as an “open wound”, has also left a deep scar on a nation that still sees itself as an open and peaceful society. Sweden is said to have “lost its innocence” that day.

Palme was prime minister between 1969 and 1976 and again between 1982 and 1986. Acknowledged as a great orator, he was vocal in his opposition to the US war in Vietnam, backed communist governments in Cuba and Nicaragua and was fiercely critical of the apartheid regime in South Africa.

This was such a tragedy! 
Olof Palme was a very much both loved and hated person. His international dream for an international community of alliance-free states was a thorn in the eyes of the big superpowers, and so was Sweden's huge sales of weapons to almost anybody, while claiming to promote peace. Most people therefore believed his murder was an international conspiracy, and many still do after this latest revelation.
