Porn Star 'Killer' Dated Body Parts Victim

Body parts posted to political parties in Canada were those of a Chinese student whose lover is being sought by the police after a video of the murder was put online.

Police in Canada confirmed the 32-year-old victim Jun Lin dated porn star Luka Rocco Magnotta, who is thought to have fled the country, possibly to France.

Interpol issued a wanted persons alert for the Canadian after the grisly video surfaced online.

Magnotta, 29, is suspected of filming the murder, dismembering Jun, and then sending the student's foot to the headquarters of the governing Conservative Party in Ottawa.

One of Jun's hands was also found inside a package at a postal sorting office, addressed to the Liberal party of Canada.

Montreal police said a cleaner found a torso with no head or limbs in a suitcase in an alley behind Magnotta's apartment building. Other body parts are still missing.

Officers said Magnotta and Jun, who was last seen alive on May 24 and is believed to have died on that day or May 25, both featured in the video, which was posted on a Canadian internet site that specialises in gore.

The footage shows a man stabbing another with an ice pick while the victim lies naked and tied up. The first man later reveals he has slashed the other man's throat.

He then dismembers the corpse while a song from the film American Psycho plays in the background.

Montreal police said the crime scene was the worst they had ever seen. Magnotta's apartment contained a bloody mattress and there were pools of blood on the floor and in the refrigerator.

Magnotta, dubbed Canadian Psycho, faces first degree murder charges in connection with Jun's death.

The alleged killer, who has used at least three different names, including Eric Clinton Newman and Vladimir Romanov, is described as white, 5ft 8in tall with blue eyes and black hair.

He caught a plane from Montreal for Europe on May 26. A police source said French authorities were told Magnotta had bought a ticket for Paris.

But Montreal police spokesman Ian Lafreiniere did not say where he flew to and suggested it was possible he had returned to Canada under a different name.

Mr Lafreiniere added: "What will hinder him the most is what he used to glorify himself, the web, with all the photos we have of him."

But he warned that Magnotta is "someone who can disguise himself, he can change into a woman, wear a wig".
