The Nautilus case

This looks like a ripping yarn. Extremely sad for the woman's family.
He is so obviously guilty it beggars belief that a 3 panel might acquit.
Coincidence is a problem for statisticians, but a man who feels dismembering is the appropriate response for an accident, and also has video of real killings on his computer breaks new ground in coincidence theory.
 
He still seems to claim that Kim Wall was killed by carbon monoxide poisoning, "exhaust from the engines," not by the hatch injuring her directly. I don't know if coroners are able to debunk this explanation by examining the body, but I assume exhaust gasses would leave traces in human tissue.

Det er lidt usikkert, hvornår han så den og hvorfor han overhovedet ledte efter optagelsen med søgeordene 'kvinde', 'halsoverskæring' og 'smerte'.
(It is not quite clear when he watched the video (of a woman being beheaded) and why he was searching for the footage using the words ’woman’, ’throat-cutting’ and ’pain’.

He appears to have had similar videos on his cell phone:

... I assume exhaust gasses would leave traces in human tissue.
Carbon monoxide poisoning produces carboxyhemoglobin in the blood and I think that's fairly stable and persistent so may well be detectable in her remains.

Won't be there, of course.
 
Mentalundersøgelsen af Peter Madsen konstaterer, at han fremstår højst utroværdig, ligesom det er vanskeligt at få et sandfærdigt indblik i hans seksualliv.
I konklusionen, som anklageren kort refererede under sin forelæggelse, beskrives han som 'polymorf' og fremstår svært seksuelt afvigende. Det fremgår desuden, at han er en velbegavet mand, men udviser narcissistiske og psykopatiske træk.
Han beskrives desuden som udtaget glat med overfladisk charme, patologisk løgnagtig, følelseshæmmet og med alvorlig mangel på empati og anger.

My translation:
”The mental examination of Peter Madsen states that he appears to be extremely unreliable, and it is difficult to get a true insight into his sex life.
In the conclusion, which the prosecutor briefly referred to when presenting the case, he is described as 'polymorph' and appears to be extremely sexually deviant. It also says that he is intelligent, but exhibits narcissistic and psychopathic traits.
Furthermore he is described as glib with superficial charm, a pathological liar, emotionally impaired and with a severe lack of empathy and remorse.”


That’s the textbook definition of severe narcissistic psychopathy.
 
His defence is falling apart as fast as Shipman's did when they started to look at the time stamps on his computer entries.

He seems to have googled in (a kind of) English:
19 timer før Kim Wall og Peter Madsen stævnede ud fra Refshaleøen i den selvbyggede ubåd, UC3 Nautilus, googlede den drabstiltalte ubådskaptajn på sin telefon efter “beheading girl argony”, med en stavefejl i det sidste ord.
På dansk oversættes søgestrengen til “halshugning, pige, smerte/pinsel”, og i den engelske version dukker en video af en rallende kvinde, der langsomt får skåret halsen op, frem.

No. It's detectable. But it isn't there, so it won't be detected.

This. Sorry I wasn't clear.

I think they would be able to detect CO poisoning but I don't believe they will detect it because the claim she was overcome by engine fumes is just another ******** excuse from her murderer.

Sure they are. Googling for forensic methods of detecting CO poisoning gives a host of sites.

It's possible that he used carbon monoxide to kill her. OTOH, he hasn't so far made any effort to make his excuses plausible, so I don't think it's all that likely. I don't believe for a second that her death was accidental, whatever the cause may have been.

Yes, but the point made by Jack by the hedge, which I misunderstood, is that they won't find any traces of exhaust fume poisoning in her blood or organs because it isn't there. What they may detect is the absence of carbon monoxide or other exhaust fumes.

"Well, golly! She asphyxiated! I panicked, what was I to do? Return her to shore as is? No! I had sex with the body, cut it into pieces, encased them in concrete and threw them at the bottom of the ocean, like a normal person! What's suspicious about that?"
 
- Personlighedsmæssigt er han svært afvigende med primært narcissistiske og psykopatiske træk, lyder det i psykiaternes vurdering.
Mentalundersøgelse: Peter Madsen har psykopatiske træk (MSN, Mar. 8, 2018)


”- His personality is very aberrant with primarily narcissistic and psychopathic traits, according to the assessment by the psychiatrists.”
Mental Examination: Peter Madsen has psychopathic traits
 
Peter Madsen har narcissistiske og psykopatiske træk. Han viser ingen tegn på anger og medfølelse. Han er pervers og seksuelt afvigende. Farlig. Han er ikke psykotisk, hans tilstand kan ikke behandles, og han er derfor egnet til almindelig straf.
Så vidt mentalerklæringen. I retten ses narcissisten optræde. Flere gange omtaler han sig selv i tredje person:
»Peter taler meget.«
Den sygeligt selvoptagede person har splittet sit selv i to dele. Der er den faktiske Peter Madsen. Det er ham, der kommer fra en brudt familie, aldrig fik gjort en ingeniøruddannelse færdig, har haft svært ved at indgå i almindelige, stabile relationer, har en stor gæld og i øvrigt har gjort sig uvenner med mange i det lille danske raketmiljø. Og så er der den Peter Madsen, Peter Madsen drømmer om at være. Raket-Madsen. Den autodidakte opfinder. Geniet.
Peter Madsen viser ingen tegn på anger og medfølelse (Information, Mar. 8, 2018)


Peter Madsen has narcissistic and psychopathic traits. He shows no signs of remorse and compassion. He is a pervert and a sexual deviant. Dangerous. He is not psychotic, his condition is untreatable, and therefore he is fit for ordinary punishment.
That is according to the psychiatric evaluation. In court, we see the narcissist perform. Several times he makes third-person references to himself:
"Peter talks a lot."
The morbidly self-absorbed individual has split himself into two parts. There is the actual Peter Madsen. He is the one from a broken home, who never finished the education as an engineer, had difficulties forming regular, stable relationships, has a big debt and also has made enemies out of many in the small Danish rocket scene. And then there is the Peter Madsen that Peter Madsen dreams of being: Rocket-Madsen. The self-made inventor. The genius.”
