    The Disappearence of Kim Wall

    Interesting murder case:

    http://news.rthk.hk/rthk/en/component/k2/1349885-20170823.htm

    Madsen first claimed he disembarked her on land at the tip of Refshaleøen, the night before the sinking. He later changed his statement, saying that she had died on board in an accident, and that he had buried her at sea. According to the Danish police, the submarine was deliberately sunk, which contradicts Madsen's explanation regarding a technical fault. A headless human torso, missing its arms and legs, was found washed up on the edge of Amager Island on 21 Monday August. DNA tests concluded that the torso was that of Wall.

    So he didn't disembark her, he dismembered her?

    I'm sure we'll find out once the investigation wraps up. Definitely "TV Film" material.

    However, Madsen sent a text notifying the crew that the scheduled trip had been cancelled.
    But they went ahead anyway, just the 2 of them.

    If there had been an accident, why didn’t he call the police? Why didn’t he bring her body to shore? Why did he initially say he had dropped her off on land?

    A combination of anger, irrationality and panic. This guy ( news is all over the Scandinavian papers) apparently, according to his friends and associates was described a loose cannon, so to speak. He is prone to violent outbursts of tempers, and hated journalists who portrayed him "negatively" in the media. I reckon this was actually planned. Wallender would be eager to cover this case.

    Some quotes from a more in-depth article:

    Madsen then went to live with his elderly and abusive father, “and constantly moved from place to place...
    ...sometimes included “sexual experimenting in fetish groups” even though he was married

    I think we need to be a bit careful here. Those quotes are meant to be leading and is how the media manipulate the readers, implying those are the reasons behind his actions (which have not been proven yet).

    There are lots of people who have abusive parents and sexual fetishes that do not murder others. Similarly, many murderers don't have any history which obviously cause their actions.

    I am always wary of articles trying to stigmatise behaviours different from the norm and stereotype certain groups.
    flameproof and GeoTommy like this.

    How about now?

    Danish submarine builder, suspected of murdering reporter Kim Wall, ‘had real films of women being beheaded’ | South China Morning Post

    ...has maintained that she died on board when a 70kg hatch door fell on her head, and in a panic he threw her overboard. He insisted her body was intact at the time.

    ...final autopsy on the torso was not able to establish the cause of death. However, it did show multiple mutilation wounds to Wall’s genitals.

    They've found her head:

    https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...alist-kim-wall

    A postmortem examination confirmed that the head was Wall’s and that it showed “no sign of fracture” or “any sign of other blunt violence to the skull”

    ...Madsen, 46, maintains that Wall died after being accidentally hit on the head by a heavy hatch in the submarine
    So looks like he lied again.
