Swedish journalist arrested in Turkiye over alleged terrorist connections

A Danish court sentenced inventor Peter Madsen to life in prison on Wednesday for murdering and dismembering a Swedish journalist aboard his home-built submarine in Copenhagen harbour in August 2017.&nbsp

Madsen, dressed in black, sat completely still as his sentence was handed down in the Copenhagen City Court.

Police detained him on August&nbsp11 last year when he emerged from his submarine without Wall, 30, who had boarded the vessel the previous day to do research on a story about Madsen.

Later that month, police identified a torso washed ashore in Copenhagen as Wall`s. Arms, legs and a head determined to be that of the victim were also later retrieved by the authorities.&nbsp

"After a total assessment, the court finds that the defendant murdered Kim Wall," Judge Anette Burkoe said.

The court decided that Madsen had "dismembered the body to conceal the evidence from the crime he had committed," she said.

The prosecutors had said that Wall died either by strangulation or having her throat cut. Forensics has not been able to confirm nor deny either allegation.&nbsp

Madsen, 47, admitted to dismembering the body and throwing it overboard but he denied murdering Wall.

He claimed Wall died from breathing exhaust gases that had leaked into the submarine due to a technical error while he was on the deck preparing to submerge. Forensics has also not been able to back up his claim.

Madsen will appeal the sentence, his defence attorney told the court.&nbsp

Life sentence for Danish submarine entrepreneur who murdered Swedish journalist

A Danish inventor charged with murdering Swedish journalist Kim Wall in his home-made submarine has voluntarily accepted the prosecutor&#39;s request to extend his custody, his lawyer said on Monday, meaning he will not appear in court on Tuesday.

Peter Madsen, who denies murdering Wall and another charge of mutilating her body, was supposed to appear in court on Oct. 31 but he will now remain in custody until Nov. 15, the lawyer, Betina Hald Engmark, told Reuters.

Earlier this month police prosecutors had extended his custody until Oct. 31 after officers found images &quot;which we presume to be real&quot; of women being strangled and decapitated on the hard drive on Madsen&#39;s computer in a laboratory he ran.

That, together with new post-mortem evidence showing Wall was stabbed in her ribcage and genitals &quot;around or shortly after her death,&quot; has added to the case against Madsen, the prosecutor has said.

Wall, a 30-year-old freelance journalist who was researching a story on Madsen, went missing after he took her out to sea in the 17-metre (56-foot) craft in August.

Madsen has told the court in past hearings that Wall died accidentally, saying she was hit by a heavy hatch cover on his UC3 Nautilus submarine.

The police earlier this month found the head and and legs of Wall and said there was no fracture to her skull.

Danish inventor accepts extended custody in submarine murder case

The headless torso of a woman found floating in Danish waters is that of a Swedish journalist who authorities believe died aboard an inventor&#39;s homemade submarine, police said&nbsp;Wednesday.

&quot;The DNA of the torso matches that of Kim Wall,&quot; Danish police announced on Twitter, saying more details would be given at a news conference at&nbsp;9am&nbsp;(0700 GMT).

The female torso, with the head and limbs deliberately cut off, was found&nbsp;on Monday&nbsp;in Koge Bay, around 50 km (30 miles) south of Copenhagen.

The 30-year-old Wall, a freelance journalist who had reported for The Guardian and The New York Times, had not been seen since boarding Danish inventor Peter Madsen&#39;s submarine on August 10 to interview him for a story.

She was reported missing a day later. The same day, Madsen was rescued from waters between Denmark and Sweden shortly before his submarine sank.

Madsen, whose website describes him as an &quot;inventepreneur&quot;, initially told authorities that he dropped Wall off on an island late on the evening of August 10.

But he changed his story several days later when he appeared in court, saying Wall died in an accident on board and that he dumped the body at sea in an undefined location of the Koge Bay.

Police have since said they believe Madsen, 46, &quot;deliberately&quot; sank the sub. It was brought to the surface and searched, but found to be empty.

Investigators are not convinced by Madsen&#39;s latest account and suspect him of negligent manslaughter.
