Jakob, what do you need to
bring the case to court?

Cause of death.

What if we never find out?

Then I'm not sure I can
refute his explanation.

You mean you're not
sure if he did it?

It doesn't really
matter what I think.

It's not for me to
decide the verdict.

If I can't counter any doubts
about his guilt then it's tough.

'In dubbio pro reo'.

What does that mean?

'In dubbio pro reo', means
the benefit of doubt

or reasonable doubt always
sits with the accused.

And that's the problem
we have here.

Okay.
What is the reasonable doubt here?

We don't know cause of death. Without
that I can't refute his explanation.

I know, he has given 3 different
explanations but he can do that. The

burden of proof is on our side and
any doubt is to his advantage.

Okay. Let's look at it
from the other side.

What is our ammunition?

Musa?

Her blood was found
in the submarine.

Which he explained when he admitted
to have butchered the corpse.

Which tells us he tried
to hide some evidence.

Nope.

He butchered the corpse because he
couldn't get it out in one piece.

Isn't that what he said?

In any case he tried to
get rid of the corpse.

Yes.

But not to hide something.

It was because he panicked.

He has planned it
all in advance.

He brought a saw, a
hose and iron pipes.

He tried to lure other women
to the submarine before

she called him and
agreed on the interview.

The saw was there because he
was putting up some shelves.

The hose and iron pipes are
common objects on a submarine.

Not all witnesses agree to that.

No, but who knows the submarine best?
The designer and

the builder or his rather
random group of associates?

What about the other women?

Nothing illegal in inviting
people on a sailing trip.

Okay.

We have found videos and
photos on his computer showing

that he was fascinated
by piercings, beheadings

and violent porn. He
watched a snuff film where

a woman is beheaded, shortly
before they sailed.

Now you are assuming.

He searched for the video,
but we can't prove that he watched it.

And it is not illegal to watch or
be fascinated by violent porn.

It may be sick, but it's
not against the law.

Come on Jakob!

We know he killed her. He cut her up
and threw her into the sea.

Yes, we know it.

And we know he planned it.

And there is additionally
sexual violence.

But can we prove it?

In the coming days we will get the results
of the accused mental evaluation.

If it is in our favour
and questions his mental

health, then we are in
slightly better position.

We are also waiting for the
technical report on the

questions arising from
his latest explanations.

Is it possible she died from
carbon monoxide poisoning?

Would there been a heat blast? - that
should be visible on the body parts?

But the most critical is...

..if the Medical Examiner can
pinpoint the cause of death.

'In dubbio pro reo'.

I must ensure there
is no reasonable doubt.

THE INVESTIGATION

Hi.

You worked late.

Any news?

We are still waiting
for the ME's report.

Alright.

Unless they come up with some
conclusions, it is no help.

No.

Here.

Have some wine.

Takes your mind of it.

I hate waiting.

Yes.

You hate to wait.

What have you got?

Everything we have
gathered on the case.

- What do you do with it?
- I'm going to read it.

- Everything?
- Yes.

Everything.

Until I find what
we have missed.

What makes you think we
have missed something?

Because....

Because this isn't
a perfect crime.

It's a clumsy and bungled crime.

So we must have
missed something.

And you?

Are you going home
or will you help me?

I was going home.
But now I am helping you.

Day 123
11ᵗʰ December 2017

Nikolaj?

By e-mail?
What does it say?

Seriously?

Yes.
I'll print and read it at once.

What's happening?

The ME is unable to
determine cause of death.

What happens now?

I don't know.

Have you read it?

Yes.

What do we do now?

I go and speak to Jakob.

No clear conclusions.

It looks that way.

All the pieces point
in one direction.

I need to re-read it, but
they are clearly not sure.

Where does it put us?

Without cause of death?

Pretty bad.

What do we do now?

We need to go through the report
line by line and find a way.

But right now we struggle to
charge him with manslaughter.

I need to be back in court. But we must get
them to be more specific in their report.

Klaus.

Jens.
It's lunch time.

No problem.
You continue eating.

I don't understand why
there are no conclusions.

There are plenty of conclusions.

- You didn't determine cause of death.
- No.

Because we cannot say for sure.

We both know he killed her.

He butchered her and
threw her in the sea.

Jens. I am the Medical Examiner.
I can't make conclusions just

because you need them. I have to
be 100% sure - no less, no more.

What do you want me to say?

That you will look
at it one more time.

Send me an e-mail with additional
questions and we will try to answer them.

Day 126
14ᵗʰ December 2007

He comes across as perverse
and severely sexually

deviant and when his
deviant personality

combines with his sexual
deviation then he is

a danger to the lives
and freedom of others.

Is that the mental
health evaluation?

He is clearly deviant.

Yes.

Which is not against the law.

Even if it sounds good for
us it is not a hammer blow.

But surely it incriminates him?

Yes, it does.
But standalone it's not enough.

We agree this is good news?

Yes, it is.

And if we can get cause of death
then that would be a big help.

We need cause of death
to back up our theories.

The report from The Technical
Institution has arrived.

And while it doesn't
categorically state that it has

happened, it does not exclude
the possibility that

there might have been a
heat blast down in the

submarine which caused the
hatch to get stuck.

So it does not refute his story?

No.

Then we are stuck.

What do we do next?

I really don't know.

What about her mobiles?
Are they a possibility?

LM thinks it is unlikely
they can be found.

And even if we do, then the seawater has
probably destroyed them and the SIM cards.

Then our only chance is
that they find a cause

of death being slashing
of the throat.

When are you meeting
with the parents?

This afternoon.

Thanks for coming in.

Of course.

I wanted to bring you up to
date with the investigation.

I have always promised to
share everything with you.

Unfortunately the report
from The Technical

Institute does not refute
his latest explanation.

I see...

Additionally the divers think it is
impossible to find the phones now.

They are somewhere under
sand and seaweed.

If you give me the radar tracking and
maps, then I will continue to search.

I can't do that, Joachim.

Jens, she recorded all her
interviews on the phone.

- Yes, I know.
- All of them.

If we find it, it will
tell us what happened.

The prosecution office does not believe the
phones will play a part in their case.

And any recordings are
most likely destroyed.

Then, why does the case not
go to court right now?

I understand that
it seems clear cut.

But unfortunately it isn't.

We are struggling to prove
his explanations wrong.

Then, why don't you
continue to dive?

If there is something to be
found then you must continue.

- Do you understand?
- Yes, I do understand.

What are we looking for?

Without cause of death we are
struggling to get him on manslaughter.

Yes, hello.

Hi Klaus.

Hold on Klaus - I'm down in parking.
I'll call you back.

It's Klaus.

Hi. It's Jens Møller again.
What do you have for me?

Yes. Hi Jens. Listen, I thought it best to
call you before we send you the report.

To tell me what?

We have updated the report to
state that we cannot exclude

that cause of death is cutting
of the throat or strangulation.

That is... the
closest we can get.

So there is still no
clear conclusion?

Yes, we conclude wherever
we possibly can.

We just can't conclude
on the cause of death.

Damn it, Jens. Look
at it from my side.

PULL!

PULL!

PULL!

Jens?

I've got something
you need to see.

We know that she is alive when she sends
a text to her boyfriend at 20:25.

Then they dive and we know
they are back up at 23:24

because the accused sends
a text to his wife.

As there is no phone activity from the
victim, we assume she is dead at this point.

And this is where it gets interesting,
because in the ME's report...

The part about the torso...

They have determined that
two of the stab wounds on

the torso were inflicted before
or right after the time of death.

This they have done based
on the colour of the wound

indicating that blood
was still pumping at the time, but...

in the questioning of the
accused, he states that she died

from carbon monoxide poisoning when
she got trapped in the submarine

and only much later, after
multiple attempts to get her whole

up and out of the submarine, he was
forced to cut her up in pieces.

Don't you see it?

The ME concludes that the wounds have been
made before or right after death occurred.

The accused has said
he sailed around for many

hours with her dead before
he did anything to her.

Before or right after.

What does it mean...
...right after?

Is it hours, minutes, seconds?

They are not there yet.

- Where are you going?
- ME's office.

There he is.
Wait here.

Klaus!

What the hell...

Jens, I've not even
started work yet.

Don't worry.
I have a simple question.

You got two minutes.

When in the report it is
stated that stab wounds

were inflicted before or
right after death occurred.

Yes?

What does that mean?

I will happily expand
in writing to you.

What does 'Right After' mean?

Well, that's hard to define exactly.

Seconds?

Minutes?

Hours?

It's not great for me to rush out of
Christmas prep at my kids school.

I hope you have something good.

Take a seat.

Do you want coffee?

No thanks.

We don't have cause of death...

but...

Do you take over?

Earlier this morning I discovered something
that turns out to be very interesting.

The accused has explained
that the stab wounds

we found on the torso
happened during the

dismembering of the
corpse and that this took

place many hours after
she accidentally died.

- Yes
- Yes, but....

Even if the ME's report
fails to truly back us

up, there were some details
that caught my eye.

One of the few concrete
conclusions is that...

two of the stab wounds
on the torso were

inflicted before or right
after death occurred.

See there?

Okay.

What time-frame does
'Right After' cover?

Not more than one hour.

More likely minutes.

Okay.

And....

The report from The Technical
Institute concludes

that if his explanation
of engine failure and

carbon monoxide is to be
believed then there would

have been a massive heat
blast in the submarine.

But the ME has not found any single
evidence of this on the body parts.

Before... right after... no heat impact....
and they can't exclude beheading.

That's it.

There is not much
doubt left now.

This is Jakob.

Christmas is canceled.
We need to write a prosecution case.

London?

Okay. Then you need to come back.
Isn't there an airport in London?

Jakob.

We are finishing off at our end and
then it is officially over to you.

Okay.

I've got an idea.

What if the contributing motive was that
the victim was working as a journalist?

How is that contributing?

Because for her this was a job. That's
the only reason she went with him.

She is telling his story. She is
performing an important role for society.

And he uses that.

The more I think about it, it becomes ever
clearer to me to be a contributing factor.

Day 159
16ᵗʰ January 2018

When the prosecution is able to take a
case to the courts and presents its case

then that is in large scale due to
your hard, exact and tireless work.

I cannot thank you
enough for your work.

Thank you for your trust in me.

Many, many thanks.

Why does it sounds
like you are retiring?

You hear what you want to hear!

Have a great day.

Do you know how many murder
cases I have been involved in?

138.

But I have never ever had
a case like this one.

It's like they can't get enough.

I read what he eats in one
of the morning papers.

They write about how the
accused celebrated Christmas?

There are 50 murders in
Denmark every year, right?

Yes or thereabouts.

That is the lowest level ever.

mmmm.

It doesn't feel that way.

Because we hear about
each and every one.

It seems that... the more we know, the
more we need and want to know.

Welcome all.

To this press briefing at
Copenhagen’s Police in relation

to charges being brought
in the submarine case.

How many years in prison
do you think he will get?

That's hard to say, but if he's found
guilty then we are seeking life sentence.

Have you decided if
to attend or not?

Yes, how can we not?

I can't say exactly
how it will go.

But you must be prepared
for lot of ugly stuff.

All details will be
brought out in the open.

And the press interest will
be like nothing before.

We are nevertheless her parents...

...so of course
we will be there.

Yes.

How is it with your daughter?
Isn't she due soon?

Yes, at any time now.

- And she is okay?
- mmmm.

Congratulations Jens.
You're about to become grandad.

It doesn't get much
better than that.

I don't know how we would have
got through this without you.

I wish you had never met me.

How did it go with them?

- It went fine.
- Come here.

Look.

It is all black and white.

But the colours are still there...

We just can't see them...

until the sun comes up again.

Day 210
8ᵗʰ March 2018

Are you ready to go?

Tomato?
Yes or no?

- Yes, please.
- Very good.

There is a lot of food
in this lunchbox.

It's gonna be fine.

- What's gonna be fine?
- It's dad's first day in court today.

Haven't you done it
hundred times before?

- Yes, but..
- Do you have your bag?

- Here you go.
- Yes, alright.

Off you go.

Wednesday 25ᵗʰ April 2018, the accused was found
guilty and given the longest possible sentence:
Prison for life.

Jakob Buch-Jepsen succeeded in having the fact that
Kim Wall was working as a journalist added as an aggravating
factor in the sentencing.

Joachim Wall continues to search for his
daughter's phone in Øresund and Køge Bay.

Jens Møller stopped as head of Copenhagen's
murder squad in 2018 and shortly afterwards
decided to retire completely.

- It is so nice to see you.
- Likewise.

Already during the investigation, Ingrid and
Joachim Wall founded the Kim Wall Memorial Fund.

The fund supports young female journalists that, like
Kim Wall, seek to tell the stories of people that are
unable to speak for themselves.

Kim became an excellent journalist.

She longed to tell about
injustice in the world

and its beauty.

She wanted to show that
a girl from Trelleborg

can make a difference in a
male dominated media world

and to make other people more
intelligent about themselves

and each other by
telling stories from...

... the whole world.

She wanted to show that we can
do what we want with our lives

and that we therefore have responsibility.

And that is what I learned from her.

That I am much stronger
than I ever thought.

And that it is my duty
to keep up the fight.

It is your life.

Ensure it will be a good life.
A fruitful life.

A beautiful life.
An inquiring life.

Move away from darkness.
Believe in the light.

My name is Ingrid Wall and
Kim Wall is my daughter.

In memory of Journalist:
KIM ISABEL FREDRIKA WALL
