Did they touch on the South Africa angle at all in their findings, even to dispell it? I was surprised that this article didn't have much to say after all the pre-hype having to do with intelligence sharing between SA and Sweden.

During the press conference they went through the main angles that the investigation has worked with throughout the years: the 33 year old, Christer Pettersson, Christer A, PKK, South Africa and the police. The first three were based on people being present at or around the crime scene, while the latter three were based on a motive but with no evidence on the crime scene. The investigator mentioned that he found the South Africa angle interesting because it involves a well defined motive unlike the PKK and "the police". Over the years several people have contacted the investigation with "interesting ideas" regarding this angle, but nothing concrete that they could follow up on.
