Officials found videos depicting female decapitation Tuesday on the hard drive of the suspect that stands accused of murdering Swedish journalist Kim Hall.
In another twist to the disturbing case of Hall’s death, videos of female beheadings were located on the hard drive of Peter Madsen, 46, a Danish inventor suspected of killing Hall, the BBC reported. Madsen claimed the videos did not belong to him.
“We had, among others, an intern living there,” Madsen said, alleging that many people were given access to his workshop where the videos were found, according to the Telegraph.
In turn, prosecutors believe that these were fetish films, stored to fulfill Madsen’s twisted fantasies. The videos show women being tortured, decapitated and burned, according to prosecuting attorney Jakob Buch-Jepsen.
“Our suspicion hasn’t changed, it has been strengthened since [the last hearing] September 5,” Buch-Jepsen said.
Hall was doing a story of Madsen aboard his submarine Aug. 10 when she was reported missing Aug 11. Her headless torso was found 11 days later. Madsen claimed her death was an accident and that she was struck on the head by a hatch, causing him to throw her body overboard in panic. He also claims that her body was intact at the time of her death.
Madsen is currently detained in the ongoing investigation.
