Kim Wall died on board the UC3 Nautilus submarine this August.She had been profiling inventor Peter Madsen, who is accused of her murder.Madsen dismembered Wall and threw her body parts into the sea.Copenhagen police confirmed they found her arm this week.A severed arm found underwater near Copenhagen probably belongs to the journalist Kim Wall, who was allegedly murdered by a Danish inventor in a horrific incident on board his home-made submarine.Divers searching Kge Bay near Copenhagen found the dismembered limba left armwrapped in metal and tubing on Tuesday.They said the limb is in a similar state to other parts of Wall's body which have been found after she died in August this year.Wall's torso, and later her legs, were also wrapped in metal, apparently to ensure they would sink.She was last seen alive on board the UC3 Nautilus, a privately-constructed submarine owned by Peter Madsen, a Danish inventor whom Wall was writing about.Exactly how Wall died is at the centre of an ongoing trial in Copenhagen, where Madsen is accused of her murder. He is also charged with sexually assaulting her.He claims that she died in an accident on board, though he has offered two different explanations for how.Early in the trial he claimed she was killed when a heavy metal hatch fell on her, and more recently he said she died from carbon monoxide poisoning.In the course of the trial, Madsen admitted that he did dismember Wall's body, then threw it overboard in what he described as a burial at sea.Police divers are continuing to search the waters around Copenhagen in the hope of finding more evidence. So far they have her head, torso, legs, and one arm.A police press release published on Wednesday said: "The arm found yesterday is the left arm. The arm was severed and was held down with strips and tube pieces, similar to what was found on the legs of the Kim Wall."The arm was found approx. 1 km from the place where the head and legs were found."The next date in his trial is in March 2018, according to the Reuters news agency.Join the conversation about this storyNOW WATCH: Here's what losing weight does to your body and brain
