Higher appeal in submarine murder case suspended

The appeal of the convicted Danish murderer and inventor Peter Madsen was interrupted on Friday.

It was expected that the court would rule on Friday. Madsen wanted to reach a lower sentence on appeal. The 47-year-old Madsen was sentenced to life in April for the murder in August 2017 on the 29-year-old Swedish journalist Kim Wall.

She had gone for an article with Madsen in his latest discovery, a submarine. Madsen killed her on board with knife stabbing, cut the body into pieces and dumped the body parts in the waters south of Copenhagen.
