The murder of Kim Wall (referred to in Denmark as Ubådssagen, or "the submarine case") took place in August 2017 in Køge Bay. Wall, a Swedish freelance journalist, was killed during a voyage with Peter Madsen on board his midget submarine UC3 Nautilus. Her body was later found dismembered and dumped in the sea. On 25 April 2018, Madsen was convicted of murder and sentenced to life imprisonment by Copenhagen City Court.
Kim Isabel Fredrika Wall was born on 23 March 1987 in Trelleborg, Scania, Sweden, to Ingrid and Joachim Wall. She had a younger brother, Tom. After graduating from high school in Malmö, she received a bachelor's degree in international relations at the London School of Economics and a dual master's degree in journalism and international relations at Columbia University in New York City.
Wall worked as a freelance journalist, writing reports about a variety of topics for publications such as The Guardian, The New York Times, Vice, Slate, and Time. In March 2016, German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung awarded her the Hansel Mieth Prize for Best Digital Reportage for "Exodus", a multi-media report on climate change and nuclear weapons testing in the Marshall Islands. At the time of her death, Wall lived with her Danish boyfriend Ole Stobbe in Refshaleøen, Copenhagen.
