only a handful of media trained police<br />
executives issued statements and a<br />
number of internal measures were<br />
taken to minimise leaks. To summarise,<br />
the police co-operated with the media<br />
but the information, though frequent,<br />
was sparse. The media’s general picture<br />
of the police and police work in connection<br />
with the murder was extremely<br />
negative at first, but overwhelmingly<br />
positive by the time the 24-year-old<br />
man was arrested. And not least, the<br />
Lindh investigation and chief investigators<br />
appeared afterwards as competent,<br />
effective and successful in contrast to<br />
Hans Holmér’s Palme investigation.<br />
Police work on the Lindh case was<br />
also successful; Anna Lindh’s killer<br />
was arrested, detained and remanded<br />
in little more than two weeks. Exactly<br />
how the police worked, and the steps<br />
and measures they took to identify<br />
the perpetrator and handle the media,<br />
however, have not been revealed.<br />
