    COPENHAGEN, Oct 20 (Reuters) - Peter Madsen, who was convicted of killing Swedish journalist Kim Wall in a self-built submarine in 2017, was caught by Danish authorities on Tuesday after he briefly escaped from prison, police told Reuters.

    Danish police earlier said on Twitter they had arrested a man just outside the capital Copenhagen after he had fled prison. They did not name the arrested man.

    The arrest happened close to the prison where Madsen is serving a life sentence. (Reporting by Tim Barsoe and Nikolaj Skydsgaard; Editing by Catherine Evans)
