Peter Madsen, a Danish inventor whose crowdfunded submarine Nautilus sank near Copenhagen on Friday, was arrested on preliminary manslaughter charges but has denied responsibility for the fate of 30-year-old Kim Wall. The search for Wall in the water, from the air and on land, continues. Wall, a freelance journalist, had been writing about Madsen and his submarine at the time of disappearing, according to Swedish and Danish reports. “He then climbed down inside the submarine and there was then some kind of air flow coming up and the submarine started to sink,” Isbak said. Madsen “told us he had technical problems” to explain why the submarine failed to respond to radio contact, Damgaard said.
