  • Story Text: Police and forensics on Saturday (April 8) cleaned up the site where a truck ploughed into a crowd and crashed into a department store in central Stockholm on Friday (April 7), killing four people and wounding 15 in what the Swedish Prime Minister said appeared to be a terrorist attack.
    Mangled metal and glass from shattered windows covered the ground at the attack scene outside a department store in central Stockholm.
    People flocked to an improvised floral shrine throughout Saturday, leaving candles and notes to honour the victims.
    A 39-year-old Uzbek man is held in custody as the suspected driver of the hijacked beer delivery truck that ploughed into the crowds. Police said they were maintaining a heightened presence, fearing copycat attacks.
