'Body deliberately stripped of head and limbs'

copenhagen - The female body found in Copenhagen on Monday was deliberately stripped of head and limbs.

That has confirmed the Danish police to Politiken on Tuesday. Dk.

The authorities seriously consider that it is the hull of the Swedish journalist Kim Wall. DNA research has to be finalized. Probably the results are known on Wednesday.

The 30-year-old journalist disappeared as she made a trip with the private submarine of Danish inventor Peter Madsen. He declared that Wall had died on board ten days ago by accident. He would have given her a seaman's grave in an unspecified place in Køge Bay at Copenhagen.\n  \n   \n    \n    \n   \n   \n   \n      \n   \n     Kim Wall\n    \n   \n     Photo: REUTERS\n    \n   \n   \n   \n      \n   \n     Search divers on the island of Køge.\n    \n   \n     Photo: AFP

The suspect claimed that he had deposed her on an island in Copenhagen's harbor just after Wall's disappearance. After that he was again taken out and his self-built submarine was sunk by problems with a ballast tank. He was rescued.
