About Peter Madsen in brief
Peter Langkjær Madsen is a Danish convicted murderer, former engineer and entrepreneur. In April 2018 he was convicted of the 2017 murder of Swedish journalist Kim Wall on board his submarine, UC3 Nautilus, and sentenced to life imprisonment. Madsen was married at Copenhagen City Hall in November 2011. His wife has chosen to remain anonymous and her identity has not been released by the media. In 2020 Madsen married 39-year-old Russian-Mauritian opposition activist Jenny Curpen. Curpen has had political asylum in Finland since 2013, because of her persecution in Russia. In June 2014, Madsen established RML Spacelab ApS. The goal was the development and construction of a crewed spacecraft. He has blogged about his activities on the web-site of the Danish news magazine Ingeniøren. He built three submarines: UC1 Freya, UC2 Kraka and UC3Nautilus.
In May 2008, he co-founded Copenhagen Suborbitals with Danish Architect Kristian Von Bengtson. On 11 August 2017,Madsen was arrested after the sinking of UC3 nautilus and the disappearance of Kim Wall. A human torso washed up on the coast of Amager on 21 August. DNA tests concluded that the torso belonged to Wall, which DNA tests, which had been stabbed multiple times to ensure its sinking to the surface, had been placed on the seabed to ensure it would not sink. According to the Danish police, the submarine was deliberately sunk, contradicting Madsen’s claim that he had buried her at sea. He later changed his statement, saying that she had died on board in an accident, and that a piece of metal had been fastened to the sinking vessel.
