Canadian porn star accused of dismembering Chinese student likely to be extradited this month - New York Post

BERLIN -- German prosecutors said the Canadian porn star accused of killing and dismembering a Chinese student in Montreal will probably be extradited by the end of the month.

The comments came as Montreal police said Thursday they are keen to know more about the murder of a Los Angeles man who was found dismembered in January, when the "Canadian Psycho" murder suspect was on the West Coast.

The suspect, Luka Rocco Magnotta, is accused of murdering Chinese student Lin Jun in Montreal then sending his body parts to political parties and schools.

"We hope that he can be extradited by the end of the month," a spokesman for the Berlin public prosecutor's office, Martin Steltner, told AFP.

The 29-year-old Magnotta was arrested Monday in a Berlin internet cafe, looking up online articles about himself, after a witness tip ended a 10-day-long international manhunt while he was on the run to Paris and then Berlin.

He is awaiting extradition to face charges in Canada of murdering 33-year-old Lin, believed at one point to have been his lover.

Magnotta allegedly filmed himself on the night of May 24-25 killing Lin with a pick axe and dismembering the body before sending a foot and a hand to the headquarters of Canadian political parties, including the ruling Conservatives.

A torso, which has been identified as belonging to Lin, was discovered in a suitcase outside Magnotta's apartment building, but his head and his second hand and foot remained unaccounted for.

Canadian police said Wednesday they were probing a macabre new twist in the case after further body parts sent from Montreal turned up at Vancouver schools. It was not immediately clear whether the parts belonged to Lin.

Magnotta, who has been dubbed the "Canadian Psycho" and the "Butcher of Montreal," fled Canada on May 26, initially to Paris, before boarding a bus to Berlin on Friday.

Canadian authorities said he will face charges of first-degree murder and committing indignities to a body. He is also expected to be charged with publishing and mailing obscene matter to Canadian politicians.
