In a grisly case that has gripped public imagination, Danish inventor Peter Madsen has been accused of the negligent manslaughter of 30-year-old Kim Wall as she interviewed him aboard his 60-foot (18-metre) submarine on August 10.

She had been missing since then.

The female torso, with the head and limbs deliberately cut off, was found on Monday in Koge Bay, around 50 kilometres (30 miles) south of Copenhagen.
