A total of five people have died in the terrorist attack here on April 7, with the last victim, a teacher and politician from Trollhattan on the Swedish west coast, succumbing to her wounds on Friday.

In the attack, a man hijacked a truck and drove it down one of Stockholm's busiest pedestrian streets, killing four other people and injuring 15. Rakhmat Akilov, a Uzbek man living in Sweden illegally after his asylum application was rejected, was arrested the same evening in a suburb north of Stockholm.

The latest victim is named Marie Kide, and is a 66-year-old teacher and Green Party politician, Swedish public television broadcaster SVT reported Friday.

"We can confirm that our colleague and politician has died. We have known for a while that it was very serious. This came as no shock even though it is terribly tragic," Peter Asp, head of information for the Municipality of Trollhattan, told SVT.
