Inventor admits he cut up body

A Danish inventor has admitted dismembering a Swedish journalist who disappeared from his submarine, but says he did not kill her.

Copenhagen police said Peter Madsen now says Kim Wall died as a result of carbon monoxide poisoning inside the submarine when he was on deck.

Officers said he has acknowledged he dismembered her body and threw it into the sea. Investigators have found bags containing her body parts and clothes.

Ms Wall, who was working on a story about Madsen, was last seen aboard his submarine as it left Copenhagen in August.
