(CNN) Sweden has ended a 34-year investigation into the unsolved murder of the country's then-Prime Minister Olof Palme, saying the chief suspect is dead. Had the current Palme investigation group been in charge 34 years ago, Engström would have been remanded in custody had he been unable to provide satisfactory explanations for his movements and actions. A photo from February 28, 1986, shows the place where Olof Palme was killed in central Stockholm. "It is by far Sweden's largest criminal investigation and is sometimes compared with the murder of JFK and [the] Lockerbie bombing. A file image shows Christer Pettersson after he was acquitted on appeal in 1989 of Palme's murder.
