The man arrested by Swedish police over last week's murder of Foreign Minister Anna Lindh denied the allegations, international agencies reported, citing his defense lawyer. "I just met my client and during the hearings he said he had nothing to do with the murder of Anna Lindh," Gunnar Falk, the suspect's court-appointed legal counsel, told reporters after his first meeting with the man arrested by police on Tuesday. The police questioned the chief suspect - 35-year-old man, whose name was not released - for almost two hours. Sweden's Foreign Minister Anna Lindh died September 11 in hospital one day after being stabbed several times by in the centre of Stockholm.
