The Mock Trial against Stig Engström for the Murder of Olof Palme

On the evening of 28 February 1986, the Swedish Prime Minister Olof Palme was shot and killed in central Stockholm while walking home from the cinema in the company of his wife. The assassin ran into a dark alley and disappeared. 34 years later, in June 2020, the police investigation was officially closed. The head of the investigation, Chief Prosecutor Krister Petersson, held a press conference where he declared that he believed that the assassin was Stig Engström, a graphic designer who worked in an office building near the crime scene and had died in 2000. Since Engström was no longer alive he could not be brought to trial. The mock trial on 5 May 2025 was an enactment of a hypothetical trial against Strig Engström with the purpose of presenting and examining the existing evidence in the case against Engström.
