Peter Madsen 'tortured Kim Wall before killing her on his submarine'

A Danish inventor tied up and tortured Swedish reporter Kim Wall before killing her on his private submarine, according to prosecutors.
Peter Madsen allegedly planned the murder by bringing a saw, screwdrivers and pipes that were used to hit, cut and stab Ms Wall while she was alive.
According to an indictment published on Tuesday, the 30-year-old's cause of death is yet to be confirmed - but it is believed she was strangled, or her throat was cut.
The freelance journalist was on Madsen's home-built submarine off the coast of Copenhagen in August 2017 to interview him for an article.
She was reported missing after failing to return home from the trip on the 18m (60ft) Nautilus submarine, which then sank.
Madsen, who was rescued from the sinking vessel, has admitted dismembering Ms Wall on board and dumping her body parts in the sea, but he denies murdering or sexually assaulting her.
He has also been charged with indecent handling of a corpse, dismemberment, and having sexual relations with Ms Wall of a "particularly dangerous nature".
In October, officers searching his laboratory found a hard drive containing images of what appeared to be women being strangled and decapitated.
Later that month, police confirmed that investigators had found 14 interior and exterior stab wounds to the journalist's genitals.
Kim Wall had written for publications such as The New York Times, Harper's Magazine and The Guardian - reporting from countries including Haiti, Cuba and China.

But Kim Kardashian's outdone herself this time, taking major style cues from TV ledge Anneka Rice. The reality star interestingly chose to accessorize her kooky blue dress with chunky white trainers (Yeezys, we presume), white socks pulled up and a twonking bum bag. Rocking her new pink hair, the 37-year-old looked like she's raided her 13-year-old self's wardrobe, but hey, it's all about the nineties, right? Meanwhile, her pregnant sister Khloe narrowly avoided a major wardrobe malfunction when the hem of her tiny bodycon dress rode up dangerously high as they shopped in Tokyo on Tuesday. Nevertheless, at eight months pregnant she looked fierce in a pair of over-the-knee camo boots, which she paired with a floor-length khaki overcoat. Also along for th
