A Danish inventor charged with murdering Swedish journalist Kim Wall in his home-made submarine had video footage on his computer showing women being violently killed, a court heard yesterday.
A police prosecutor said officers found images "which we presume to be real" of women being strangled and decapitated on the hard drive on Peter Madsen's computer in a laboratory he ran.
That, together with new post-mortem evidence showing Wall was stabbed 15 times in her ribcage and genitals 'around or shortly after her death,' was adding to the case against Madsen, the prosecutor, Jakob Buch-Jepsen, told the Copenhagen court.
DNA tests from Madsen's nails, face and neck showed a clear match with Wall's, Buch-Jepsen said, though the exact cause of death remained unknown.
