Since I’m interested in society

So yesterday they had a press conference about the unsolved 1986 murder of Swedish prime minister Olof Palme. We watched the conference at work. I’m old enough to remember the murder. The prosecutor thinks it was a lone culprit, now deceased, not just the same as the now deceased man previously suspected, one time convicted, later acquitted, of being the lone culprit. Long sentence, hope it's understandable.

I - not a criminal detective - years ago bought the arguments for the murder not being a professional conspiracy. What is the wording they have in crime shows: “the criminals memo” Edit: M.O, thank you Jo. The Plame murder dosen’t fit the M.O.  of a professional conspiracy. Both that Olof Palme only was shot one time and that Palmes wife Lisbet Palme was left alive on the crime scene, looks odd. Tons of people in the world have survived being shot one time. A professional don’t take that risk, they fire all the bullitts they have. And a professional should not have left a witness. To me that made sense. On the other hand, what do I know, and the police investigated the South Africa regime a lot, for connections to the murder. So they must have thought it could have been a conspiracy.

the criminals memo

I think the expression you're looking for is "M.O." -- modus operandi, or method of operating/working. That's that they're saying on (usually US) police shows -- "the crime doesn't fit his usual M.O.".

Thanks, I was more or less sure it was, I was just to lazy and tired to make any more research.
