The TV series Efterforskningen (trailer in Danish), in English The Investigation, premieres next week, Sep. 28, 2020. Teaser from Swedish TV svt.se. I assume that it will soon be possible to stream a version with English subtitles.

It will be streamed on Netflix, after all. Kontroversiel Peter Madsen-film klippes om (EKKO, Oct. 16, 2020) Controversial Peter Madsen documentary is being recut Notice that this is not the TV series The Investigation (IMDb), which started airing recently. |

I had promised myself I wouldn't revisit this thread, but eh...
Anyway, Peter Madsen attempted a jailbreak today. Details are currently very sketchy, but both EOD (bomb disposal) and sharpshooters are present at the scene. |

Breaking news (Aftonbladet.se)
Already apprehended again (DR.dk) Arrested after attempting escape (TV2.dk) He was wearing a bomb vest or belt like a suicide terrorist. Probably fake, I assume, but the news is still breaking. In English: Police surround Danish inventor who killed journalist (SkyNews) Submarine killer Peter Madsen reportedly escapes from prison with bomb threat (NYPost) |

Eye witness reports on video (TV2.dk)
People saw armed police stop a white van and pull out two people, one of them Madsen, so apparently somebody must have helped smuggle* him out of prison. The same eye witness to the arrest (DR.dk) One article claims that he got out by threatening prison guards with what appeared to be a gun: Peter Madsen i flugtaktion (EkstraBladet) *Or he took a prison employee hostage (BT) The hostage was a female psychologist, according to Ekstra Bladet. Press briefing at 15:00/3 p.m. CEST |

It appears to have been an extremely short break out - 5-6 minutes:
Quote:
Peter Madsen threatened his way out, using a fake bomb belt The van he got into wasn't a get-away vehicle. Somebody just happened to be parked there, and that person was still in the van when he entered it. The police pulled Madsen out the van before it could leave. |

It seems very liberal that this could happen. Impossible in most English speaking countries.

I guess Netflix dug deep and eased the sensitivities of the reluctant with cold cash.

He took a psychotherapist hostage. The bomb was a fake.

It took only 11 minutes from the moment he threatened the psychologist till he was arrested in the van. And his breakout led to six new charges.
10:15: He threatens her with a fake gun and a fake bomb belt to let him out of the building and accompany him to the gate. 10:20: He threatens the prison guard to let him out of the gate and escapes on foot. 10:21: The prison reports the breakout to the police. They send all cars to the location. 10:25: He points the 'gun' at two prison guards chasing him. 10:25: He gets into a van and threatens the driver to drive off. The driver is a foreigner who doesn't understand Danish. 10:26: The police pull him out of the car and place him on the ground while awaiting the arrival of dogs trained to recognize explosives. Peter Madsen fængslet efter grundlovsforhør: 11 dramatiske minutter udløste 6 sigtelser (DR.dk, Oct. 21, 2020) I assume he will be moved to a more secure prison. And he is bound to lose his workshop privileges where he made small model submarines and rockets - and probably the fake gun and bomb belt. According to a friend of his, access to the workshop was the only thing that made his life worth living, so he will now have all the time in the world to regret the murder of Kim Wall. |

Peter Madsens mentalerklæring: Så farlig er han (BT, Oct. 20, 2020)
Peter Madsen's : This is how dangerous he is The article contains quotations from the forensic psychiatric assessment of him, which was used in court. I don't have the time to translate it all, but here is a slightly improved Google translation: From the prosecutor's conclusion:
Quote:
Based on the assessment by a psychologist and two forensic psychiatrists:
Quote:
Not exactly the Hannibal-Lecter-evil-genius Ievel of IQ. It probably reflects that he is more or less self-taught without much formal education. "Considers himself to be an intellectual" reminds me of Adrian Mole. |

Watched it last week.
Really great series, though it actaully doesn't go into much detail about the incident itself - it's very much focused on the people (Police and the Wall family) and the process, in particular the search for Kim Wall's remains by the diving teams. How close to reality it is - I have no idea - but it's a lovely bit of TV (in my opinion of course) |

I admired the way it never showed Madsen or even mentioned his name. He was just 'the suspect' or 'the accused'.
