The head of Swedish journalist Kim Wall has been found, two months after she disappeared on a trip with a Danish submariner, Danish police say.
Her head was found in a bag that also contained two legs, Copenhagen police inspector Jens Moller said. Another bag contained her missing clothes.
Ms Wall's torso was found in the sea off Copenhagen 11 days after she boarded Peter Madsen's submarine on 10 August.
The 46-year-old denies murdering her.
He also denies a charge of mutilating her corpse.
"Last night our forensic dentist confirmed that it was Kim Wall," he said.
No fractures were found on Ms Wall's skull, he added.
Ms Wall, 30, was last seen alive on the evening of 10 August as she departed with Mr Madsen on his self-built 40-tonne submarine, UC3 Nautilus, for a story she was writing about his venture.
Her boyfriend raised the alarm the next day when she did not return from the trip.
Initially, Mr Madsen said he had dropped her off safely in Copenhagen. He later changed his story to say she died in an accident after hitting her head on a hatch and he had "buried her at sea".
