Headless body found in search for missing journalist Kim Wall: Danish police

Police say it is too early to say if the torso belongs to Kim Wall but it was found in the same area where she disappeared.

A woman’s headless torso has been found by Danish police investigating the disappearance of a Swedish journalist.

Kim Wall, 30, had been interviewing Danish inventor Peter Madsen on board his homemade submarine on 10 August but she failed to return.

Madsen, 46, initially said he had dropped Ms Wall off on an island in Copenhagen late that day but has since told police that she died in an accident and he buried her at sea in an unspecified location in Koge Bay, south of Copenhagen.

Police said late on Monday that they had found a woman’s torso near Koge Bay after an intense search.

Copenhagen police chief Jens Moller Jensen told reporters: “When I say torso, it’s a body without head, arms and legs”.

He said it was “too early” to say if it was Ms Wall.
