Peter Madsen, a Danish man sentenced to life imprisonment for murdering Swedish journalist Kim Wall in 2017, has applied to the Supreme Court to request permission to marry his girlfriend. His request was denied, as he must serve ten years before being eligible for leave, and his girlfriend cannot visit him until after that period. Madsen's lawyer argues this violates Article 12 of the European Convention on Human Rights, which guarantees the right to marriage. Madsen also escaped from prison in 2020, taking a psychologist hostage and threatening guards with a bomb before being recaptured.
