A Swedish man who was arrested on suspicion of murdering his wife has been cleared, after police decided she was probably killed by an elk.
Ingemar Westlund, aged 68, found the dead body of his wife Agneta, 63, by a lake close to the village of Loftahammer in September 2008.
He was immediately arrested and held in police custody for 10 days.
Now the case has been dropped after forensic analysis found elk hair and saliva on his wife's clothes.
Mr Westlund told Expressen newspaper: "My family and I have been dragged through a nightmare."
His wife had last been seen taking the family dog out for a walk in the forest. When she failed to return her husband went out to look for her.
Although the murder investigation was dropped five months ago, details have only just emerged and the police plan to hold a news conference next week to explain what happened.
The European elk, or moose, is usually considered to be shy and will normally run away from humans. But Swedish Radio International says the animals can become aggressive after eating fermented fallen apples in gardens.

He DID murder her, and dumped her body by the lake. She was then spat upon/licked by the curious elk. The following night, the husband goes back to try and conceal the body. He gets caught red-handed, and blames the murder on a placid apple-eating moose-impersonator. FFS |
