Human remains delivered to Vancouver schools, as Magnotta sits in Berlin jail
Baku, June 6 (AZERTAC). As alleged killer Luka Rocco Magnotta awaited extradition in a Berlin jail cell, the focus of the Canadian investigation into the body-parts case shifted Tuesday to Vancouver, where two schools received packages containing human remains.
Magnotta is wanted in Canada on several charges — including first-degree murder — in connection with the ghastly Montreal killing and dismemberment of Chinese national Jun Lin. The porn actor, who grew up in the Toronto area, was arrested Monday at an Internet cafe in Berlin.
Magnotta, the prime suspect in a crime that has shocked people worldwide, declined Tuesday to fight his extradition from Germany, and authorities now believe he could be on his way back to Canada in a matter of days or weeks.
But as the extradition proceedings moved forward, investigators in Montreal said they are still looking for some of Lin`s body parts.
The Concordia University student`s torso was found locked in a suitcase on May 29 in an alley behind the seedy, west-end Montreal apartment building where Magnotta lived.
Vancouver police said Tuesday that a human hand and foot had been delivered to two schools earlier in the day. A Chinese consulate spokesman said four of Lin`s family members, including his parents, arrived in Montreal Tuesday night. Zheng Xu said they will meet with Montreal police and then with the media at an opportune time.
Authorities said his return to Canada could happen as soon as the coming days.
