Copenhagen –
The found body of the killed Swedish journalist Kim Wall was reinforced with a piece of metal, with the intent to sink. That has the Danish police Wednesday to let you know during a press conference about the case.
To what metal it was, is not known. “But it means a relatively big breakthrough in our research”, says police chief Jens Møller. Dna of the torso corresponds to dna in blood that is found in the submarine of the Danish engineer Peter Madsen about who they have a story to write, and in hairs on a brush and in saliva from a toothbrush, Wall.
Wall was for the last time on August 10, seen when they are on board stepped out of the submarine of Madsen. He told me that they by an accident to the life in the submarine and that he had a watery grave. Said earlier, Madsen is still the Swedish to have been deposited on a small island in the harbour of Copenhagen.

Later that night, sank his boat by a problem with a ballast tank. He could barely save. The police think that the captain of the craft structure to the seabed. Despite the fact that there are 38.000 litres of water, the submarine was gone, is on board dried blood on the Wall found.
Madsen is stuck on the charge of death by negligence, but the charge will probably be tightened. By the dna match is the press Madsen has increased dramatically but it is too early to draw conclusions, says his lawyer at the newspaper Berlingske Tidende. She is Wednesday by the police will be informed but has not yet with her client spoke. “It’s the best for everyone that Kim Wall is found, but the investigation is not yet concluded.”
