The Swedish government dismissed Stockholm Police Commissioner Hans Holmer, 56, from the stalled investigation into the assassination of Prime Minister Olof Palme last Feb 28. Holmer was relieved of the duty by Prime Minister Ingvar Carlsson.

Carlsson’s announcement came after eight hours of talks to settle a power struggle between police and prosecutors over the handling of the unsolved case.
