A scene from The Investigation (HBO)
HBO s upcoming Danish true-crime drama, The Investigation documents the 2017 gruesome murder of young Swedish journalist Kim Wall. Wall had boarded the midget submarine UC3 Nautilus in Køge Bugt, Denmark, to interview the owner Danish entrepreneur Peter Madsen.
Soon after the Nautilus failed to return to Refshaleøen, Copenhagen, she was reported missing. Later, the submarine was found sunken on August 11, 2017, and Madsen was rescued and immediately arrested.
Through August and November 2017, Wall s dismembered body parts were found scattered around the area with several knife wounds, mostly in the groin area. Madsen was convicted for her murder and sentenced to life imprisonment on 25 April by Copenhagen City Court after a widely publicized trial.
