Woman, 66, is fifth victim to die in Stockholm truck attack
STOCKHOLM — A woman in her 60s who was injured in the April 7 truck attack in Stockholm has died, Swedish authorities said Friday, raising the death toll to five.
A political party in Trollhattan, near Goteborg, identified the woman as Marie Kide, 66, an elected member of the city council.
“It is with sorrow that I have received the message that another person died,” Prime Minister Stefan Lofven said.
“The aim of this kind of attack is to spread terror and hatred,” Lofven told Sweden’s news agency TT. “We will do everything in our power so people can be safe in Sweden.”
