Peter Madsen was found guilty of all charges, including the murder of Kim Wall, indecent handling of a corpse, and sexual assault, and sentenced to life imprisonment.
Royal Danish Navy divers assisting the police found Kim Wall's head, arms and legs, along with a knife and pieces of her clothing, in bags at the bottom of Køge Bay, weighted down by pieces of metal.
Peter Madsen was arrested on this day after the sinking of UC3 Nautilus and the disappearance of Kim Wall, a Swedish journalist who had last been seen alive aboard the submarine.
UC3 Nautilus, a privately built midget submarine, launched on this day in Copenhagen, Denmark. The submarine was constructed over three years and it cost approximately US$200,000 to build.
Peter Madsen launched his first large rocket at Høng. The rocket was one meter tall, modelled after the American ICBM MX Peacekeeper and built in his father's workshop. It reached a height of 100 m (330 ft) before crashing without harming anyone.
