This story just keeps getting worse and worse. Now, prosecutors in Copenhagen say that Peter Madsen, a Danish inventor, abused freelance journalist Kim Wall on his homemade 56-foot submarine before he killed her and dismembered her body last Aug. 10. The picture above shows the sub underway in Copenhagen harbor on that day. Madsen, 46, previously told police he had dismembered her body after “a terrible accident” on the sub but denied that he had killed her.
Prosecutors now say he brought a “saw, sharpened screwdrivers, straps, strips and pipes” to the boat in a plan to kill Wall, 30, who was interviewing him for a story. They say she had been stabbed 14 times. Authorities also found images of women being strangled and decapitated on the hard drive of Madsen’s computer in his lab.
Police say Madsen deliberately sank the sub outside Copenhagen; he was rescued by a passing boat. Wall’s boyfriend reported her missing that night when she didn’t return home. They later found her dismembered body in bags on a beach on Aug. 21. Read more:
