The submarine builder Madsen was sentenced by the Copenhagen district court (equivalent to the district court) to life imprisonment for the murder of the Swedish journalist. Kim wall. She accompanied Madsen on his UC3 Nautilus submarine to interview him.
The court justified its sanction by saying that it was a cynical and planned sexual assault and a particularly brutal murder of a randomly selected woman, who in her profession as a journalist agreed to take a submarine trip.
The cause of death has not been determined and Peter Madsen claims that Kim Wall was killed in an accident aboard the submarine. He had previously denied the murder, but admitted that he cut up Wall and dumped the body parts into the sea.
The verdict was appealed to the next court, the district court, which determined life in prison.
