COPENHAGEN, DENMARK — Danish police on Wednesday confirmed a headless torso that washed up on a Copenhagen beach is the remains of missing Swedish journalist Kim Wall. <br /> <br />"DNA match between torso and Kim Wall," Copenhagen police said on Twitter. <br /> <br />Wall was last seen alive on Aug. 10 when she boarded the UC3 Nautilus submarine in Copenhagen with its owner-operator Peter Madsen, the Washington Post reported. <br /> <br />The submarine sank the next day and Madsen escaped from the vessel. <br /> <br />A search and rescue operation failed to find Wall. <br /> <br />A headless torso washed up on a Copenhagen beach on Aug. 21. Two days later, police confirmed it was a DNA match for Wall. <br /> <br />Madsen originally told police he dropped Wall off in Copenhagen. He then changed his story, saying she died on board the submarine and he buried her at sea. <br /> <br />Police said the journalist's headless and limbless body was deliberately mutilated. <br /> <br />Madsen denies a charge of manslaughter, and a court case is continuing. <br /> <br />Wall was 30 years old. She worked as a freelance reporter for the New York Times, the Guardian and Vice, among other publications.
