In 2003, Sweden was about to vote out of the Euro. The campaign to exit was going well.

In September 2003, 3 days before the referendum, foreign minister Anna Lindh was fataly stabbed while shopping in the upscale NK department store in central Stockholm around 4pm local time on September 10th, 2003.

Two weeks later, on September 24th, 24-year-old Mijailo Mijailovic was arrested for the stabbing. The Supreme Court sentenced him to life in prison for Lindh's murder on December 2nd, 2004.

Mijailovic expressed little sign of remorse during the trial and gave few clues as to his motives.

In the police interview he denied that it was motivated by Lindh’s statements over the NATO bombings of Serbia, stating that it had been a coincidence it was Lindh he saw, and that he had previously considered attacking Lars Leijonborg of the Liberal Party (Folkpartiet) a week before the Lindh murder.

High on the hypnotic drug Flunitrazepam at the time, Mijailovic told how he tracked down Lindh and eventually caught up with her and stabbed her at a Filippa K concession.

Later in the interview Mijailovic admitted that he had made up his defence line about hearing voices as a ploy to plead insanity and thereby escape a sentence in a normal prison.

Mijailovic accepts that he will most likely never be released and is prepared for his fate.

What was looking like a majority vote to leave for Sweden suddenly the debates where all suspended in the media and replaced with eurologies for the murdered politician.

The polls reversed and the decision was made, Sweden adopted the Euro...

Sweden voted NO to Euro and EMU.

She was pro-euro/emu (She was against Sweden joining NATO)

She died 11 September.. just before the vote.

Great link, thank-you Valle. A lot of people I'm hearing talking seem to be thinking along these same lines...
