STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - A Swedish woman who photographed a swan in the river outside the royal palace in Stockholm made a grim discovery when the film was developed: a hand sticking out of the ice. Newspaper Aftonbladet said on its Web Site that Marita Larsson was walking around Stockholm's Old Town in early March and took a photo of a swan on the river as a spring thaw melted the ice.
"It was only when I came home and developed the film that I saw there was something particular about the picture. When I had it blown up I saw there was a hand sticking out of the ice," she told the newspaper.
A spokesman for Stockholm police said the hand might be that of a man who committed suicide in late January and whose body has not yet been found.
Police last week also fished various body parts of a woman, including the head and hands, out of the river, and are still trying to identify her.

Hey, didn't you ever see that movie "Blowup"?! :-)
To: Excuse_My_Bellicosity
"Blow-Up" is a great movie by Antonioni (1966). A Photographer uncovers a murder when he greatly enlarges photographs he took in a park. Or does he??

Sounds like a serial kille is loose in the greater Stockholm metropolitan area.

Surely there wouldn't be any connection to the "religion of pieces"?
maybe a "honor killing" or some such.

The mere presence of a swan makes me suspect fowl play....

Perhaps it wasn't supposed to happen this way...
