Journalist Kim Wall's head is found | Journalist Kim Wall's head is found |
(35 minutes later) | |
The head of Swedish journalist Kim Wall has been found, two months after she disappeared on a trip with a Danish submariner, Danish police say. | |
Her head was found in a bag that also contained two legs, Copenhagen police inspector Jens Moller said. Another bag contained her missing clothes. | |
Ms Wall's torso was found in the sea off Copenhagen 11 days after she boarded Peter Madsen's submarine on 10 August. | |
The 46-year-old denies murdering her. | |
He also denies a charge of mutilating her corpse. | |
What we know | |
An ‘exceptional’ journalist remembered | |
Who is DIY submariner Peter Madsen? | |
Mr Moller said the body parts were found after several dives in waters around Copenhagen, and were contained in bags that had been weighted down with pieces of metal. | |
"Last night our forensic dentist confirmed that it was Kim Wall," he said. | |
No fractures were found on Ms Wall's skull, he added. | |
Ms Wall, 30, was last seen alive on the evening of 10 August as she departed with Mr Madsen on his self-built 40-tonne submarine, UC3 Nautilus, for a story she was writing about his venture. | |
Her boyfriend raised the alarm the next day when she did not return from the trip. | |
Initially, Mr Madsen said he had dropped her off safely in Copenhagen. He later changed his story to say she died in an accident after hitting her head on a hatch and he had "buried her at sea". |
