'Canadian Psycho' may have eaten victim

A porn actor dubbed the "Canadian Psycho" for allegedly killing and chopping up a Chinese man was taken to a Berlin prison after telling a judge he would not fight his extradition from Germany. Luka Rocco Magnotta, 29, was arrested Monday at a Berlin Internet cafe on suspicion he murdered a 33-year-old Chinese student in Canada last month with an ice pick and hacked apart his body while filming the grisly killing. "He has been before the judge, who has confirmed the arrest," Martin Steltner, a spokesman for the Berlin public prosecutor's office said, a day after Magnotta's capture in the German capital following a global manhunt. "He said he would not fight the extradition," Steltner added. Magnotta was driven to the imposing red-brick Moabit prison in central Berlin in a police van past a dozen or so waiting reporters. The case came to light after body parts were mailed to political party offices in Ottawa, triggering an international search that started in Montreal and shifted to Paris before ending in dramatic fashion in Berlin. Those human remains have been confirmed as belonging to the Chinese student, Lin Jun, who is believed to have been in a relationship with Magnotta, though Chinese media reports quoted Lin's friends saying that was not the case. More human body parts were discovered Tuesday in packages mailed to two schools in the Canadian city of Vancouver, police said, though they stressed that they had not yet been able to positively link them to the same murder. German authorities have asked Canada to provide the necessary documents for Magnotta's extradition. As soon as they arrive, a judge will rule on sending Magnotta back to Canada, Steltner said ahead of Tuesday's hearing, adding that the procedure normally takes several days. "We will see what the extradition process will bring," he said, adding it "will be easier and will be faster" now that Magnotta has said he would not fight it. He however noted that Magnotta could still change his mind. German police faced little resistance when they picked the suspect up in Neukoelln, a working-class district of the capital, after a tip-off. He initially tried to give a false identity before conceding simply, "You got me," Steltner said. A video from the cafe's security camera circulating on German media showed police leading a suspect wearing sunglasses and a dark hooded jacket with his hands handcuffed behind his back out of the cafe. Cafe owner Kadir Anlayisli told German television station NTV: "'That's him,' I said. 100 percent that's him. So I went outside and stopped a police car and said: 'There's someone sitting in there that looks like the porno-killer'." Before the hearing, Steltner had said there was no evidence the suspect had committed any crime in Germany and that investigators did not know exactly what he was doing in Berlin following his arrival on Friday by bus from Paris. "Canadian and German authorities are working together and legal representatives too," a spokeswoman for the Canadian embassy in Berlin said, declining further comment. Magnotta, also dubbed the "Butcher of Montreal", has been wanted since last week when Lin's severed hand and foot were sent by mail to Conservative and Liberal party offices. Lin's torso was found in a suitcase left for garbage collection outside Magnotta's Montreal apartment, which police said Tuesday was virtually covered in blood. "We found blood on the mattress, on the tables, in the refrigerator and in the freezer," said Commander Denis Mainville from Montreal's major crimes unit. Interpol had issued a Red Notice wanted-persons alert for Magnotta, also known as Eric Clinton Newman and Vladimir Romanov, to its 190 member countries after a video purportedly showing the gruesome murder surfaced online. In the video, which Canadian police have reportedly said shows the crime, a man repeatedly stabs another man with an ice pick and dismembers him, as a song from the soundtrack of the film "American Psycho" plays in the background. Canadian investigators said Magnotta boarded a France-bound plane on May 26 in Montreal. Two passengers who said they sat next to him on the six-hour flight told French radio he had appeared nervous and was crying. "At one he point he disappeared and I got worried -- we're all a bit paranoid on flights -- and I thought, 'He's put a bomb in the toilets'," one passenger said. With the help of Magnotta's cell phone signal, police traced him to a hotel in the Parisian suburb of Bagnolet, and then to an international bus station in Paris where video surveillance footage showed he had boarded a bus to Germany. Magnotta travelled to Berlin under a false name, Tramell, French police said. Catherine Tramell was the main character in the 1992 film "Basic Instinct". Played by Sharon Stone, she uses an ice pick to murder a lover.
