A Danish inventor has admitted dismembering the body of the Swedish journalist Kim Wall, whose body parts were found at sea after she interviewed him on board his homemade submarine.
In initial police questioning, Peter Madsen, who is suspected of her murder, denied cutting up her body and said she died when a heavy submarine hatch accidentally fell on her head.
Madsen has now changed his story to say Wall died of carbon monoxide poisoning while on board, police said in a statement on Monday.
“He has now explained that Kim Wall died as a result of carbon monoxide poisoning inside the submarine at a time when he was on deck,” police said. “Furthermore, Madsen has admitted that he later dismembered her corpse and spread the body parts in Koge Bay” off Copenhagen.
