The man arrested by Swedish police in connection with last week's murder of Foreign Minister Anna Lindh says he is not the man who attacked her with a knife, the suspect's defence lawyer has said.
"I just met my client and during the hearings he said he had nothing to do with the murder of Anna Lindh," Gunnar Falk, the suspect's court-appointed legal counsel, told reporters after his first meeting with the man arrested by police on Tuesday.
Lindh was stabbed on September 10 while out shopping without bodyguards in a downtown Stockholm department store.
She died the next day of her wounds. The murder rekindled memories of the unsolved assassination of Prime Minister Olof Palme in 1986.
