Madsen, who was convicted of murdering Kim Wall in 2017, was arrested shortly after escaping from jail in Copenhagen
A Danish man convicted of torturing and murdering a Swedish journalist on his homemade submarine escaped the suburban Copenhagen jail where he is serving a life sentence but was found nearby on Tuesday.
The Ekstra Bladet tabloid posted a video of Peter Madsen sitting in the grass with his hands behind his back and police at a distance. According to the daily, Madsen “had a belt-like object around the abdomen”.
