COPENHAGEN, Oct. 7 (Xinhua) -- Danish police said Saturday that the head and legs of Swedish journalist Kim Wall had been found, almost two months after she disappeared on a submarine trip with Peter Madsen, the Danish investor who built his own submarine.

Bags containing the body parts and Wall's clothing were found Friday in Koge Bay, south of Copenhagen. Her torso had also been found in the same waters 11 days after she boarded Madsen's homemade submarine, Copenhagen Deputy Police Inspector Jens Moeller Jensen said at a press briefing.

The bags were weighed down by metal parts, Jensen said.

Wall was last seen on Aug. 10 when she went inside the 18-meter submarine with Madsen.

Madsen has subsequently been charged with killing Wall, dismembering her body and throwing the parts into the water.

He however denies murdering Wall, insisting that she was killed after being accidentally hit by a heavy hatch cover aboard his submarine.

He also says Wall's body was intact when he threw it in the water in panic after the fatal accident.
