The head of Swedish journalist Kim Wall has been found, two months after she disappeared on a trip with a Danish submariner, Danish police say.<\/p>\n
Divers found bags containing her head, legs and clothing in Koge Bay, just south of Copenhagen, the city’s police inspector Jens Moller Jensen said.<\/p>\n
They were found not far from where Ms Wall’s torso was discovered 11 days after she boarded Peter Madsen’s submarine on 10 August.<\/p>\n
Mr Madsen, 46, denies murdering her.<\/p>\n
He\u00a0also denies<\/a>\u00a0a charge of mutilating her corpse.<\/p>\n Mr Moller Jensen said the bags, found on Friday, had been weighed down with pieces of metal.<\/p>\n “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.<\/p>\n 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”.<\/p>\n This would seem to contradict Mr Madsen’s statement that she had died after hitting her head on a hatch.<\/p>\n Ms Wall, 30, was last seen alive on the evening of 10 August as she departed with Mr Madsen on his self-built 40-tonne submarine, UC3 Nautilus, for a story she was writing about his venture.<\/p>\n Her boyfriend raised the alarm the next day when she did not return from the trip.<\/p>\n Initially, Mr Madsen said he had dropped her off safely in Copenhagen, but he later changed his story to say it had been a “terrible accident”, that he had “buried her at sea” and planned afterwards to take his own life by sinking his submarine.<\/p>\n Ms Wall’s torso was found on 21 August; a post-mortem examination revealed knife wounds to her genitals and ribcage, which were believed to have been caused “around or shortly after her death”.<\/p>\n Danish Prosecutor Jakob Buch-Jepsen told a court\u00a0earlier this month<\/a>\u00a0that footage of women being decapitated alive had been found on a hard drive believed to belong to Mr Madsen.<\/p>\n Mr Madsen, who denied the hard drive was his, was detained for a further four weeks while investigations into the case continue.<\/p>\n Source: bbc.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
