Danish submarine owner arrested over journalist's death

A Danish submarine owner has appeared in court over the death of a Swedish female journalist who had been on board his vessel before it sank.

Peter Madsen, 46, denies manslaughter, saying he had dropped the woman off in Copenhagen before the sinking.

The reporter's partner raised the alarm in the early hours of Friday when she did not return from what was supposed to be a short journey on the vessel.
