Luka Magnotta Dismember Slay Case: Canadian police believe they've found head of victim Jun Lin

By Crimesider Staff from http://www.cbsnews.com

(CBS/AP) TORONTO - Canadian police are investigating whether what appears to be a human head found in a Montreal park on Sunday is the missing head of Chinese student Jun Lin, who was allegedly dismembered by porn actor Luka Magnotta, an official said Sunday.

A police official told The Associated Press that an item recovered from a Montreal park appeared to be a human head. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak about the details.

Magnotta, 29, is accused of dismembering his former lover Lin, 33, and mailing the body parts to political parties and schools. He pleaded not guilty last month.

Montreal police spokesperson Anie Lemieux said the major crimes unit received a tip Sunday afternoon and investigators made their way to Park Angrignon, located a few miles south of Magnotta's apartment. Lemieux said it will take a few days for tests results to confirm whether what was found is indeed Lin's head.

Magnotta was caught last month as he read stories about himself at an Internet café in Berlin. He did not contest his extradition from Germany and arrived in Montreal last month on a Canadian military plane.

Lin's family arrived in Montreal last month and attended a memorial service last week. Lin studied computer science student at Montreal's Concordia University.

Kosmo Online :

BERLIN, Jerman – Seorang aktor porno yang digelar ‘Orang Gila Kanada’ kerana membunuh dan mengerat seorang lelaki lain dihadapkan ke sebuah mahkamah di sini semalam.

Pelakon lucah berkenaan, Luka Rocco Magnotta memberitahu, dia tidak akan mencabar proses ekstradisi bagi membawanya pulang ke Kanada.

“Dia dibawa ke hadapan seorang hakim yang mengesahkan penangkapan tersebut,” kata jurucakap pejabat pendakwa raya awam di sini, Martin Steltner.

“Suspek kemudian memberitahu dia tidak akan mencabar proses ekstradisinya,” tambah jurucakap berkenaan.

Menurut Steltner, Magnotta, 29, yang ditangkap di sebuah kafe Internet di ibu kota Jerman di sini kelmarin, akan dipindahkan dari lokap polis ke sebuah penjara.

“Proses mengekstradisi Magnotta kini lebih mudah dan cepat kerana dia bersetuju untuk tidak mencabarnya,” ujar Steltner.

“Namun, dia boleh menukar fikiran,” tambahnya.

Pihak berkuasa Canada percaya Magnotta membunuh seorang pelajar China dengan menggunakan pencungkil ais dan mengerat mayat mangsa sambil merakam perbuatan kejam tersebut.

Laporan awal menyebut, mangsa, Lin Jun yang berusia 33 tahun ialah kekasih Magnotta.

Kes tersebut terbongkar selepas beberapa bahagian badan mangsa dihantar melalui perkhidmatan mel ke beberapa pejabat parti politik di Ottawa. - AFP

 Magnotta enters the internet cafe

Cannibal gay porn ‘psycho killer’ Luka Magnotta caught on CCTV in Berlin internet café before arresthn Hall - Tuesday 05 June 2012 from http://www.independent.co.uk

The stills were taken by a CCTV camera in a Berlin internet café, and capture the moment an international manhunt for 29-year-old Luka Magnotta came to an end.

Magnotta today told a German court that he would not fight extradition to Canada, where authorities are currently preparing papers to request his extradition.

Magnotta allegedly murdered his 33-year-old Chinese lover Jun Lin in a Montreal flat on the evening of May 24. Parts of the university student’s body were then posted to political offices in the city of Ottawa, including the Canadian Prime Minister’s party HQ.

A ten-minute video entitled ‘One Lunatic, One Ice Pick’ was posted online after the killing. The footage shows a man thought to be Magnotta attacking his naked, tied-up victim with an ice pick, before hacking him to pieces, eating parts of his flesh, and performing sexual acts on his corpse.

Magnotta is thought to have fled Montreal for Paris two days after the murder, passing through customs unchallenged despite the international search for him.

Police say he spent at least two days in the French capital, before travelling to Berlin on a coach.

The bisexual porn star, who also worked as a gay prostitute under the name ‘Angel’ and has had plastic surgery to look like James Dean, was captured after an employee of an internet café in Berlin’s Neukoelln district recognised him.

To double check he had the right man, Kadir Anlayisl, began searching the internet for articles on Magnotta, and noticed the man in the café was looking at exactly the same articles on his computer.

Anlayisl then ran outside and flagged down a passing police van saying “I have someone here you might be looking for."

Police said there was no struggle in arresting Magnotta, who "tried at first giving fake names…but in the end he just said ‘you got me'."

Martin Steltner, a spokesman for the Berlin public prosecutor's office, told the AFP news agency that Magnotta’s extradition process could take months to go through, but added that it "will be easier and will be faster" now that Mr Magnotta has said he will not oppose it.
