The coronavirus and the fight against it. The situation at home and in the world.

Threatened with a bomb, he tried to escape from the prison of Danish inventor Peter Madsen, a submarine killer but sentenced to life in prison.

News of the escape attempt was first reported Tuesday by Ekstra Bladet, who also posted a short video showing a man detained by police in front of a fence.

The newspaper was informed that Madsen, convicted of the murder and dismemberment of Swedish reporter Kim Wall, had managed to escape from a prison west of Copenhagen by threatening to detonate an alleged bomb.
Police confirmed the interception of “a man” in a Twitter message, but Madsen was not identified.

In August 2017, the 49-year-old inventor, a rocket engineer, tortured and killed 30-year-old Swedish journalist Kim Wall in a self-made submarine who boarded a man’s submarine to make a report. It dismembered the victim, discarding the body parts in the strait between Denmark and Sweden, but the water washed them ashore.

Madsen denied killing the woman in a 2018 lawsuit, only admitting to cutting her up and throwing her into the sea. He also first confessed to the murder in a recent television documentary, a telephone interview. (MTI, Reuters)
