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. Mr Moller Jensen said the bags, found on Friday, had been weighed down with pieces of metal.
"Last night our forensic dentist confirmed that it was Kim Wall," he said. "Yesterday morning we found a bag within which we found Kim Wall's clothes, underwear, stockings, and shoes. In the same bag laid a knife, and there were some car pipes to weigh the bag down," he said.
No fractures were found on Ms Wall's skull, he added. He said a post-mortem examination confirmed the head was Ms Wall's and that it showed "no sign of fracture... [or] any sign of other blunt violence to the skull".
The bags were found just one kilometre from where Ms Wall's torso was found on 21 August. A post-mortem examination revealed knife wounds to her genitals and ribcage, which are believed to have been caused "around or shortly after her death". This would seem to contradict Mr Madsen's statement that she had died after hitting her head on a hatch.
An exact cause of death has yet to be established.
