Copenhagen prosecutor Jakob Buch-Jepsen announced in a court hearing Wednesday that "images" of the torture, decapitation, and burning of a woman were found on a computer hard drive at RML Spacelab, the organization devoted to building a manned suborbital rocket led by Danish aerospace engineer Peter Madsen. The BBC reports that the images, "which we presume to be real," said Buch-Jepsen, were on a computer believed to belong to Madsen—the suspect in the death of journalist Kim Wall in an incident aboard his submarine the UC3 Nautilus.

Madsen, for his part, claimed the video was not his and that the computer the video was on was a computer that everyone in the lab had access to. But other evidence presented in this latest hearing on his case has prompted the judge overseeing the case to order he be held in custody another four months, as Buch-Jepsen told the court of the video and other evidence that have "strengthened" the case against Madsen since his last hearing on September 5.

Pro tip: do not keep torture pr0n on your work computer.

    The submarine WAS seaworthy and he only scuttled it in a foolish attempt to cover up evidence of her murder?

    We know he had a fetish for women getting killed. So now you have to wonder if the sole purpose of building the submarine was to murder someone? Kind of like Chuck Berry opening restaurants just to put cameras in the women's bathrooms.

        Sure thing there retard. It must have been the "pigs" fault that this nutjob killed a woman in a case where nobody else possibly could have, threw her body out, lied about it, and changed his story a bunch of times.

        There's no rule that says you reflexively have to be an idiot 24/7. You can take a break.
