On Monday, a Copenhagen Police spokesperson released new information regarding the investigation into the disappearance of Kim Wall, a Swedish journalist who had been last seen aboard the UC3 Nautilus—the crowd-funded, amateur-built diesel-electric submarine designed and piloted by Peter Madsen. Madsen now confirms that Wall died aboard the submarine, and that he dumped her body overboard. But he claimed to police and prosecutors that her death was accidental.

Details of the investigation had been sealed (protected under the "closed doors" provisions of Danish law), as the criminal investigation is still underway. But after a request from both prosecutors and Madsen's defense attorney, the court allowed the police department to release the following statement:

The defendant has explained to the police and the Court, that there was an accident on board which caused Kim Wall’s death and that he consequently buried her at sea at a non-defined location in the Bay of Køge. Copenhagen Police may additionally disclose that the preliminary charge of manslaughter is upheld. As the investigation of the case is still covered by "closed doors," no further information can be given.

But on Monday a woman's headless, limbless torso was found washed ashore south of Copenhagen, the New York Times reported. Jens Moller, the chief homicide investigator of the Copenhagen police, told the Times, "It’s way, way too early to say if it’s Kim Wall. We don’t know if it’s her."

1. "Buried at sea"....

Except for the fact that he ain't in the fucking navy and he "buried" her in a shallow bay... Nevermind the fact that no religious officials or witnesses of any kind were at this "funeral"

2. Hmmmmm.....

No head, no limbs. Are there sharks in Denmark?

3. Copenhagen police now say that the body was deliberately decapitated and dismembered with tools.

Danish police confirm headless torso is missing journalist Kim Wall

Police find DNA match to Swedish reporter who is believed to have been killed on a homemade submarine

Danish police have identified a headless female torso found in the Copenhagen waterside as that of Swedish journalist Kim Wall, who police believe was killed on a homemade submarine.

Speaking at a press conference on Wednesday morning, Copenhagen police’s vice-president, Jens Møller, also said that DNA taken from a hairbrush and toothbrush belonging to Wall had matched that of blood found on the submarine.

He said metal weights had been attached to the body to prevent it from floating.

“Damage seems to have been done to the torso in an attempt to ensure that air and gases escape and the body won’t drift to the surface,” Møller said at the press conference.

Peter Madsen, a Danish inventor, was charged with manslaughter last week. He told a court hearing this week that Wall had died in an accident and that he had “buried” her at sea.
