Moose, not husband, suspected in woman's death

By Associated Press

STOCKHOLM: Swedish police say they've cleared a man who was accused of murdering his wife after deciding the culprit was probably a moose.

Police spokesman Ulf Karlsson said ''the improbable has become probable'' in the death last year of 63-year-old Agneta Westlund, whose body was found after she left home for an evening stroll in the forest.

According to news reports, the victim's husband, Ingemar Westlund, was jailed for 10 days. The case against him was dropped in January.

Karlsson declined to give details of the case, saying a news conference would be held Tuesday.

The tabloid Expressen says hairs and saliva from a moose — aka a European elk — were found on the victim's clothes. Police would not confirm that.
