Danish submariner’s trial opens for journalist murder 1 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy Agence France-PresseThe high-profile trial of Danish inventor Peter Madsen, charged with murdering and dismembering Swedish journalist Kim Wall aboard his homemade submarine, opens Thursday, with proceedings expected to shed light on the circumstances of Wall’s grisly death. Prosecutor Jakob Buch-Jepsen has already said he will call for a life sentence, which in Denmark averages around 16 years. Divers combed Danish waters in the weeks following Wall’s disappearance, ultimately recovering all of her remains. But prosecutors have said they believe Madsen killed Wall as part of a sexual fantasy.
