A Danish court sentenced inventor Peter
Madsen to life in prison on Wednesday for murdering and dismembering a
Swedish journalist aboard his home-built submarine in Copenhagen harbour
in August 2017.
Madsen, dressed in black, sat completely still
as his sentence was handed down in the Copenhagen City Court. Police detained
him on August 11th last year when he emerged from his submarine without Wall, a
30-year-old Swedish journalist who was researching a story on the man who was
already well known in Denmark for his submarines and his plan to send a human
into space in a home-made rocket.
Later that month, police identified a torso
washed ashore in Copenhagen as Wall’s. Arms, legs and a head determined to be
that of the victim were also later retrieved by the authorities.
