A MAN ACCUSED of murdering and dismembering a man in Canada will not fight his extradition from Germany, a Berlin court heard today.
Canadian porn actor Luka Rocco Magnotta, 29, was arrested in Berlin yesterday after an internet cafe owner recognised him as the man Canadian authorities want to question in connection with the death and dismemberment of a 33-year-old man in Montreal.
An investigation was launched after body parts were discovered in mail sent to Canadian political parties last week. Tests suggested that a hand and foot found in separate packages were part of the same body as a torso which was discovered among rubbish behind an apartment building in the city.
Canadian authorities have identified the victim as Jun Lin who was studying at a university in Montreal. They also believe they have footage of the murder and dismemberment.
Interpol subsequently issued an alert notice for Magnotta and he was arrested in Berlin yesterday. During a court appearance there this morning, Magnotta told the judge he will not fight extradition to Canada, the AFP reports.
This evening, Canadian police said that video footage from the killing and dismembering also seems to show the suspect eating the body.
Although the officers in charge of the investigation could not confirm conclusively that parts of the body were eaten, Commander Ian Lafreniere said, “As gross and as graphic as it could be, yes, it was seen on the video.”
A copy of the video viewed online by The Associated Press did not show anyone eating the body but did show a man using a fork and knife on the body.

@Lionel. I’m pretty sure the video of the murder he posted might be enough to make people believe he done it.
Exactly Seany.. Can’t get better evidence than that!
The Toronto Sun posted a picture of his bedroom taken by police and put it beside a shot taken from the murder video. The radiator in both is the same and there is a small stool/table in the same position in both.
sick.
he deserves a hand folks , if he does not get one he might lose the head
Should be hung, drawn and quartered.
Why? Has there been a trial and he’s been found guilty?
He would probibly get a thrill outa that
Probably right leigh,Albert fish looked forward to being executed…..
From what I’ve read of him he would probably like that, it would give him the fame (albeit posthumous) that he craves. On websleuths.com they’ve drawn up a huge list of the aliases he used to post under. The worst thing you could possibly do to him is lock him away for the rest of his life away from people and with no access to the internet. It’s just a shame the police didn’t act on the dossier that animal rights activists compiled on him after he killed the kittens.
or hungry?
Usually believe innocent until a court of law proves him guilty, but not in this case. Video evidence showing the murder and dismemberment. Body parts found in trash at suspects building and also blood matching the victim found in the suspects fridge and he fled to Europe. Every part screams guilty!
Or really REALLY coincidental……..maybe he has a twin……an identical cannibal twin……
Glad you won’t be on the jury.
You don’t get sarcasm do you Sarah….
Right back at ya
Touché
Maybe he’s just misunderstood?
Send him over to Norway to eat brevik. He’ll choke on that poison. 2birds 1stone.
Christopher you’re going to hell for that comment!! :-p
This is one time where I can honestly say I’ll sleep better at night knowing this person has been caught. I READ excerpts of what happens on that 11 minute gore fest of a video and I was disturbed after it. I think anyone who actually views this would be very affected by it. Stomach wrenching.This person sounds pure evil. The poor victim. I also feel it for his family knowing not only did he die in the most gruesome of ways possible but it was posted online!
I too read a detailed description. I was shocked and I think it takes a lot to shock me. We’re not just dealing with a cannibal – he even allegedly engaged in necrophilia. I cannot understand why anyone would want to watch that video but apparently the servers have been crashing due to the traffic it has attracted. That in itself worries me.
If that shocked you then the account of what Albert fish did to four year old Billy gaffey would destroy you. These guys are monsters to say the least. The stuff of nightmares
Seriously sick young man
Firing squad close range into the head is to good for this SICKO.
It’s like the horror movie called The silence of the lambs.
I rwemember the name. This is the gay porn star who was alleged to have posted videos of kittens being killed online. He’s obviously a complete sicko.
Did he cook him first?
Did he have some fava beans and a nice chianti? Fefefefefefe!
f#ckin run for your lives, that’s two zombie apocolypse-esque incidents in a week!
More disturbing news coming out of Canada: two more body parts were delivered, this time to two schools in Vancouver. That brings it to a total of four mailed body parts – he claims to have mailed 6. I feel for the poor soul who opens up the package containing the head. The experts are now claiming there was some cannibalism involved.
Prefer Indian myself :-))
There is something seriously wrong with some of the youth of today, killing, eating body parts, murdering people on islands, no remorse, in most cases not even an flicker of regret, don’t get it the World is going down a bad road, worrying times……
You think this is new? Cannibalism goes back as far as humans do. It’s extremely disturbing though,some more vicious than others. It’s amazing what human beings are capable of!
I prefer my dogs to most people,much more loyal and trustworthy
i don’t think the world is any worse now than before its just that we hear about everything that happens everywhere as it happens and in most cases now as in this one its visual aswell. i did a goggle on your man Luka and there were so many hits including model photos, his animal cruelty vids, a reality show interview, links to the murder video (which i did not watch)all the news bulletins,the interpol alert and his arrest. He’s obviously an evil man but i think that there have been worse throughout history.
Is this suddenly en vogue? “@AP: College student suspected of cannibalism ranted about “mass human sacrifices” on Facebook: http://t.co/YmXztFYD
