Sven-Erik Olsson
The blast took place about 11 a.m. just outside the Varby Gard subway station in Huddinge â a residential district in greater Stockholm  said  regional police spokesman Sven-Erik Olsson.
 "The man was seriously injured after he picked up something from the ground and this device exploded "  Olsson  said  adding that experts were examining the object.
The man  in his 60s  was rushed to hospital but later died while the woman  in her mid-40s  received "minor wounds" to her face and both legs   Olsson  said.
The Swedish tabloids Aftonbladet and Expressen claimed the device may have been a hand grenade but  Olsson  dismissed that as speculation.
Police initially were investigating the incident as an attempted murder  but later said there was no reason to believe that the couple was targeted.  Olsson  also said nothing has indicated that terrorism was involved.
 Olsson  said police were scanning and sweeping outside and inside the subway station to make sure no additional explosive devices were there.
