(MENAFN) A Danish inventor has been handed a life term sentence in jail, after being convicted in murder and sexual assault charges of the Swedish reporter Kim Wall on his submarine.
The judge, Anette Burko, and another two jurors convicted Peter Madsen, aged 47, of three among the charges against him, including intended murder, aggravated sexual assault and damaging a corpse.
Burko clarified the rare decision to give Denmark's most serious sentence, declaring: " This is a cynical and pre-planned sexual assault of a particularly brutal nature on a random woman who, in connection with her journalistic work, accepted an invitation for a sailing trip on the accused"s submarine,".
Wall has died at the age of 30, as she was a reporter who worked for Time magazine, the New York Times and the Guardian among others, across the world.
