Sub murder suspect now refuses to talk to police

- By MARGARET NEIGHBOUR

Danish submarine inventor Peter Madsen, a suspect in the death of a Swedish journalist whose body parts and clothes were found in the sea off Copenhagen, will no longer talk to investigat­ors, police have said.

Investigat­or Jens Moeller Jensen said Madsen, who is in pre-trial detention, is not obliged to speak.

Kim Wall’s headless torso, with 15 stab wounds, was found on 21 August.

Before the other body parts were found last week – her arms are still missing – Madsen was willing to talk to investigat­ors.

Ms Wall was working on a story about Madsen. She was last seen alive on 10 August aboard his 40-ton, nearly 60-foot long submarine as it left Copenhagen. The following day, Madsen was rescued from the sinking submarine without Ms Wall. He was arrested.
