Kim Wall was assassinated in August 2017, at age 30.
Peter Madsen was sentenced to life in prison by the Copenhagen District Court in April 2018. He has now been interviewed by Danish journalist Kristian Linneman, who recorded the conversations without Madsen’s knowledge. In retrospect, he has received permission to publish the material according to Ekstra Bladet.
“It was provocated”
During the interview, Peter Madsen is initially silent and finds it difficult to talk about the case, but opens up more and more during the conversation.
Madsen says in the interview that he is not usually violent, but claims that it was provoked by Kim Wall when they were in the submarine. According to Madsen, Kim Wall must have destroyed things. The journalist asks if that was what made him kill her.
– Yes, Peter Madsen answers.
Blame others
Kurt Kragh is a former murder investigator and is also interviewed in the documentary and says that Madsen blames himself by claiming that Kim Wall had destroyed things on the submarine and therefore disclaims responsibility for his own actions. .
– Here he tries to blame Kim Wall, and it is a classic trait for a person like Peter Madsen who has clear traits of a psychopath. They never take responsibility for their own actions, no matter how serious. He tries to justify and explain what he has done, Kurt Kragh tells Ekstra Bladet.
