In 2018, inventor Peter Madsen was sentenced to life in prison for the murder of Swedish journalist Kim Wall. In the process, the submarine builder provided multiple versions of how the 30-year-old woman died, without taking responsibility. Now the Dane confesses the act for the first time.
Danish submarine builder Peter Madsen, sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of Swedish journalist Kim Wall, has confessed to the crime. In a documentary, Madsen answered “yes” by phone when asked if he had killed the young woman in August 2017. “There is only one culprit and that is me,” he added after denying the fact throughout the process.
Madsen brutally murdered Wall in his self-built submarine “Nautilus” in August 2017. The journalist wanted to write a report on the inventor. The case had caused a stir around the world, as the 30-year-old man was initially thought to have disappeared and Madsen later presented different versions of what exactly had happened in the submerged submarine.
In April 2018, a Copenhagen court found it proven that Madsen Wall sexually abused, tortured, cruelly murdered, dismembered his body and made him disappear into the sea. Parts of Wall’s body were later discovered in the Baltic Sea, they had cuts and stab wounds. Madsen, however, denied having killed Wall, rather suffocated, it was his last version of the story.
Witnesses questioned during the trial, including several former girlfriends, described the inventor as a follower of brutal sado-maso practices. A computer hard drive found in his workshop contained fetish videos showing women being tortured, beheaded or burned alive.
“Other than August 10, 2017, I have never done anything to anyone,” said the 49-year-old in the first part of a documentary series titled “Secret Recordings with Peter Madsen.” The series is based on more than 20 hours of phone conversations with Madsen that were recorded without his knowledge. However, Madsen later authorized the use of the recordings as documentation.
