Inventor ‘killed journo on sub’

THE Danish inventor accused of torturing and killing a female Swedish journalist on his private submarine before dismembering her body is an intelligent man ‘with psychopathic tendencies’, a prosecutor said as the murder trial opened.

Peter Madsen, 47, is accused of torturing Kim Wall, 30, before he killed her on his submarine in August. He is charged with murder, dismemberment and disposing of a corpse.

He denies murder, but has admitted to dismembering her dead body.
