The mysterious 2005 death of a Swedish woman in Scotland, which has sparked a wave of conspiracy theories, has taken an unexpected turn after it emerged it has been classified as a “secret” by the Sweden government.
Annie Borjesson was found face down and fully clothed on Prestwick Beach near Glasgow Prestwick Airport on Dec. 4, 2005.
The 30-year-old, who had moved to Edinburgh a year before her death to study English, had traveled to the airport the previous day and had intended to fly back to Sweden. Her bag, which had her wallet and passport, was found next to her.
Both Scottish and Swedish authorities have claimed Borjesson likely died of suicide by drowning, but her family has always suspected foul play.
Sky News, who has been airing a six-part podcast on the case – "What happened to Annie" – reported that the Swedish foreign ministry has released documents detailing conversations with Scottish authorities during a yearlong investigation into the case. The information on the files, however, has been heavily redacted on the grounds of it being classified.
“Information has been deemed classified as secret according to the provision of Chapter 15, section 1 of the Public Access to Information and Secrecy Act and has been redacted to the attacked file,” Daniel Andersson from the Swedish foreign ministry, told Sky News.
"The reason for this is that the information concerns Sweden's relations with a foreign state and a foreign authority and it can be assumed that a disclosure will damage Sweden's international relations or, in other ways harm national interests," he added.
One of the redacted files, which have not been independently confirmed by Fox News, showed embassy officials outlining how authorities suspected suicide, despite the fact that no post-mortem exam had been conducted on Borjesson’s remains. That document had been filed just one day after her death.

From the linked article.
Annie Borjesson’s mysterious death has sparked conspiracy theories in the years that followed, including one that made associations between the 30-year-old and alleged CIA rendition flights through Prestwick airport in 2005. Rendition flights are said to be used for the extralegal transfer of prisoners from one country to another. No evidence has emerged in relation to this link, and both the U.S. and the U.K. governments have denied the existence of such flights through Scotland.
For me whenever I see a national news story with certain aspects discreditted in such a manner hinting at "conspiracy theories" that is massive red flag, I suspect someone at somepoint had a logical point of enquiry regarding this?, It would be good to see the source of the above statement.
I can think of a few people that could probably shed light on the case with their investigation skills and I will wait with baited breath to see if they do so in the future.

Annie lived in Edinburgh, but on December 3, she traveled 129 kilometers (80 mi) to Prestwick Airport for unknown reasons.
Time stamps from the airport’s security footage show that she moved the length of the terminal in 55 seconds. Independent investigators determined that this should take over a minute and a half at normal walking speed and concluded that she must have been running. In total, she spent less than five minutes at the airport.
When Annie’s family began their investigation, they hit a wall of secrecy. Scottish authorities refused to release tissue samples that could help clarify the cause of death.

Full tin foil hat warning-
Bare with me,it takes a while,
For some reason the first thing I thought of when I read your post was about the (possibly crazy/something else)Swedish twins who are the subject of a mind blowing documentary.
They are the Eriksson twins,two women from Sweden who (so the story goes)suffered from an episode of "folis a deux" in the UK which led to 24 hours of madness culminating in a police chase and crazy antics on the motorway where one twin dives under the wheels of a lorry,then gets up and runs off like nothing happened...the real footage is in the documentary,and is not easy to believe.
And its topped off with a seemingly random(?) murder.
The thing which I found very strange is the twins don't believe the cops are real cops-they say at one point they are imposters,come to recapure them and take them back to the clone facility!
So my wild tin foil hat theory is-what if this lady in the OP(Also Swedish,also staying in the UK)in part of the cloning experiments,and that is the reason the Swedish government is covering it up-because they and the UK government are running a secret cloning program?
Just wild speculation on my part,but a good theory for ATS I reckon
If you are interested,give the documentary a watch,its completly off the chart,and hard to believe it shows real events:
