A court today found Danish inventor guilty of the premeditated and sexual assault of Swedish on his homemade submarine last year, handing him a life sentence.

Madsen, 47, had admitted chopping up the 30-year-old's body and throwing her remains overboard in waters off Copenhagen, but claimed her death was accidental.
