Kim Wall and Peter Madsen

According to sources, Kim Wall and Peter Madsen (an inventor/entrepreneur) went on Madsen’s submarine for an article she was working on. When she did not return home, Wall’s boyfriend contacted the police and told them of her last whereabouts. While being questioned, Madsen initially said that he dropped her off near Copenhagen, but later told investigators that the submarine sank, and killed Wall, revealing that he “buried” her at sea. He has been charged with involuntary manslaughter.

But now, reports suggest that a piece of metal was placed on the torso to weigh it down in the water. Investigators are working on the case and searching for the missing limbs. Currently, it is also suggested that the submarine was purposely sunk.

Upon the death of her daughter, Ingrid Wall posted a message on Facebook which read, “It is with boundless sadness and shock that we received news that the remains of our daughter and sister Kim Wall have been found. We cannot yet grasp the extent of this catastrophe and there are many questions that must be answered.”
