Kim Wall death: Danish inventor Madsen admits dismembering journalist

Source: BBC

The Danish inventor Peter Madsen has admitted dismembering the body of Swedish journalist Kim Wall aboard his submarine, but denies killing her.
...
He told police she had died in August from carbon monoxide poisoning inside the submarine, while he was up on deck.

Mr Madsen had previously denied cutting up her body and said she died when a heavy submarine hatch fell on her head.
...
Police said on Monday they were extending the charges against Mr Madsen - which already include murder and mutilating Ms Wall's body - to include sexual assault without intercourse. The inventor denies the charges against him.

The changing story - was the hatch, now carbon monoxide poisoning - stinks to high heaven. The sexual assault charge points at an actual motive.

I think CO remains in the body after death, so it could be ruled out now by tests. . . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Oct 2017 #3

The last time somebody accidentally died in my house, I cut 'em into chunks. It just seemed like the natural thing to do.

Only a psychopath would find that to be a reasonable thing to say. I wonder how many people this guy has killed?
