Madsen mistreated journalist for murder

The Danish inventor Peter Madsen has mistreated and tortured journalist Kim Wall before he murdered her.

According to the indictment, Madsen therefore took several tools on board the submarine, including a saw, a knife and a pointed screwdriver. He tied the head, arms and legs of the thirty-year-old journalist, hit her, poked at her and then killed her, the researchers say. There would also have been sexual abuse.

Madsen took the journalist in August last year in the approximately 17-meter-long vessel. The authorities later found her body parts back in the water. Her body was sawn into pieces.

The inventor himself denies the murder and states that the death of Wall on board the submarine was an accident. The prosecutor demands life imprisonment against Madsen. The process starts on March 8 in Copenhagen.
