Swedish detective work is just marvelous. When they had the wrong man arrested, crack Swedish detectives found the real killer. A moose.

An elderly man who was arrested for the death of his 63 year old wife was finally cleared and set free from jail as moose hairs and moose saliva was found on the murder victim. It seems that the woman took a stroll through the forest and met up with foul play at the hands of the murderous animal.

Here's a Swedish police mugshot of the suspected real killer.

No word yet, whether the moose had some squirrel accomplice.
