Police in Denmark have confirmed that the headless torso found floating in the waters near Copenhagen belongs to Kim Wall, a journalist who went missing after boarding a homemade submarine to interview its inventor on Aug. 10.
The torso was deliberately dismembered, police said.
Wall, a Columbia University-educated freelance journalist, was last seen on Aug. 10 aboard the private UC3 Nautilus submarine invented by Peter Madsen.
Wall’s boyfriend reported her missing early on Aug. 11. Later, the submarine was also reported missing, but rescue crews discovered it sinking 30 miles from Copenhagen after 10 a.m. on Aug. 11.
Members of The Danish Emergency Management Agency (DEMA) assist police at Kalvebod Faelled in Copenhagen on Aug. 23, 2017, in search of missing remains of Swedish journalist Kim Wall close to the site where her torso was found on Aug. 21.
