Inventor again denies killing journalist aboard his submarine as murder trial resumes

Peter Madsen is a Danish inventor who is accused of killing Swedish journalist Kim Wall on his submarine. According to ABC Peter "is accused of tying up journalist Kim Wall and abusing her before killing her and dismembering her body." His charges are murder and indecent handling of a corpse. Peter took the stand in Copenhagen and pleaded guilty to the indecent handling of a corpse but denies the other charges. Madsen's defense for dismembering the body has changed two times,  "During the first day of the trial on March 8, Madsen said that he dismembered Wall’s body because he was in denial and wanted to throw the body in the water, but that it was too heavy. Today he said that he stabbed the body to get gasses out so that the remains would sink, according to Danish media reports.
