发帖数: 2310 | 2 The international manhunt for the porn actor accused of killing and
dismembering a man in Canada appeared to end Monday in a Berlin Internet
cafe with the arrest of a man who identified himself as Luka Rocco Magnotta,
a German police spokesman said.
Police spokesman Guido Busch said the man resembles Magnotta and told
officers that he is the 29-year-old suspect. But investigators were awaiting
fingerprint results before making an official confirmation of his identity,
Busch said.
Someone in the cafe, located in a student-oriented area of Berlin,
recognized the man and alerted police, Busch said. The man was arrested
without incident Monday afternoon, he said.
Canadian police wanted Magnotta on charges of first-degree murder in
connection with the killing of Jun Lin, 33, a Concordia University student
from China, and threatening, among others, Canada's prime minister by
mailing him a severed foot.
The search for Magnotta had captured worldwide attention after news that the
efforts to find him had moved to France following a number of reported
sightings there.
Magnotta, dubbed "the Canadian psycho," was believed to have fled to Paris
under an assumed name, Montreal Police Cmdr. Ian LaFreniere said.
Looking for an alleged killer

Body parts found in suspicious package
It was not immediately clear if attention had shifted to Germany.
The case began last week when a package addressed to Prime Minister Stephen
Harper arrived at his majority Conservative Party headquarters, and a hand
was later found at a post office addressed to the minority Liberal Party,
authorities said.
Authorities quickly traced the address on the packages to the Montreal
apartment of Magnotta, where they discovered a torso in a suitcase in a
trash bin.
And the crime, Montreal police say, was captured on a graphic video posted
to the Web. It features a man -- who authorities believe is Magnotta --
killing another man, dismembering the corpse and performing sexual acts.
"We believe he filmed himself," LaFreniere said last week. "It's gross. ...
This is a very deranged person. He is looking for attention, and he got it,
but not in a positive way."
Not all the body parts have been recovered, and LaFreniere said forensic
evidence and DNA were used to identify the victim as Jun.
Authorities believe Magnotta killed Jun on May 24 or May 25, posted the
video, and on May 26 fled the country by plane to Europe, most likely Paris.
That prompted Interpol, the global police agency, to alert authorities in
190 countries.
Over the weekend, police said there were indications that the suspect may
have been aboard a flight from Paris back to Montreal. There was no sign of
him after a search of the plane, LaFreniere said.
Since the case went public, new details have emerged daily, new chapters in
a grisly saga with an alleged culprit that police say is infatuated with
self-promotion.
According to Canadian media reports, Magnotta promoted himself as a gay porn
actor through a graphic website that showcases a chameleon-like quality:
the ability to change his appearance. In one picture, with dark hair, he
resembles a teenager. In another, with blond hair, he looks rough.
Authorities allege he even changes his names, using the aliases Eric Newman
or Vladimir Romanov.
"There are a lot of pictures of him out there, and it will help lead him to
us," LaFreniere told reporters over the weekend.
His name may not have been known before last week, but Magnotta's digital
footprints were large.
He was notorious among online animal rights activists, who pegged him as a
serial kitten killer who used cat carcasses in sexual acts.
A Facebook group started in December 2010 dubbed him the "Vacuum Kitten
Killer," after a video was posted on YouTube showing kittens being killed by
suffocation and drowning.
Several Canadian newspapers also reported that Magnotta had dated notorious
Canadian killer Karla Homolka, who years before was arrested for the rapes
and murders of three Ontario girls, including her own sister. As part of a
plea bargain, Homolka served 12 years in prison. LaFreniere said he could
not confirm any links and Homolka is not part of the investigation.
Now, there are reports that Magnotta threatened to kill as early as six
months ago during an encounter with a reporter at the Sun.
The British newspaper implicated Magnotta as a suspect in the videotaped
killing of a kitten, which it reports he initially denied.
Then, according to the newspaper, it received an e-mail describing how the
writer planned to move on from killing animals to people. The writer, the
newspaper reported over the weekend, was Magnotta.
"We're talking about a very strange, unhinged individual," said the Sun's
Neil Millard.
"Obviously, we did give those details to the police in this country."
But there was little British authorities could do, with Magnotta back in
Canada.
LaFreniere has said police are aware of the animal abuse allegations.
On what appears to be his website, Magnotta defended himself as a victim of
cyberstalking.
"Once and for all, I will set the record straight," he wrote. "Many hoax
websites are created using my image and name, posing as me to seem more
believable in respect to the type of audience these website (sic) have, I
feel I don't need to list them specifically but people need not be told, not
to believe what they read and to take it as fact."
The website has writing in Arabic and Russian, and shows images of Magnotta
half-naked and with his lips in a distinct runway pout.
LaFreniere from the Montreal police had expressed confidence that Magnotta
would be caught sooner or later -- predicting his desire for attention could
be his downfall.
"This man uses the Web to glorify himself, and (authorities) hope this habit
will lead to his capture," the police commander said Saturday.
