Denmark intends to ban convicts from starting relationships

The Danish Ministry of Justice has prepared a bill prohibiting life-sentenced prisoners from dating and chatting online. The document contains a ban on communication on social networks for prisoners who should be in prison as long as they are dangerous to society.

According to the Minister of Justice of Denmark, Nick Hekkerup, the norm should be introduced, since recently, there have been several situations when convicts, who committed crimes, tried to win the sympathy and attention of young people.

One of such cases can be considered the wedding of the Danish inventor, sentenced to life in prison, Peter Madsen with Jenny Kurpen.

The couple met on the social network after Madsen's imprisonment; the wedding took place at the beginning of last year. According to the new wife of the convict, Madsen did a terrible thing and was punished for it. But she considered him the most devoted and sensitive person.

Peter Madsen received a life sentence for murder, sexual assault, and dismemberment of a person. The victim turned out to be a Swedish journalist, who went with the inventor on a three-hour voyage on his homemade submarine. After the woman had not returned home, they began to look for her, but only Madsen was found. Subsequently, the dismembered body of the journalist was found off the coast of the Danish island of Amager. Madsen gave conflicting testimony, but his guilt in the death of the woman was proven.
