Montreal police have confirmed Mr. Magnotta s arrest in Germany.They re holding a media conference on Monday afternoon to discussthe high-profile case. Montreal police Commander Ian Lafreni resaid investigators are extremely relieved and happy about Mr.Magnotta s arrest. The international search for Mr. Magnotta began last week afterbody parts of Lin Jun, a 33-year-old Chinese national who wasstudying at Concordia University, were found in Montreal and mailedto political parties in Ottawa. Mr. Magnotta is facing five charges in Montreal, includingfirst-degree murder, causing an indignity to a body, corruptingmorals, using the mail system to deliver obscene, indecent,immoral or scurrilous material, and harassing Prime MinisterStephen Harper. Mr. Harper commended police Monday for catching Mr. Magnotta. Well, I m obviously pleased that the suspect has been arrested,and I just want to congratulate the police forces on their goodwork, the Prime Minister said in London, where he is attendingthe Queen s Diamond Jubilee Mr. Lin, who was enrolled in computer science and worked part-timeat a convenience store, had been in Canada for about a year. Policesay his killing and dismemberment was filmed and posted on Internetgore sites. Web viewers mused for days about whether the film wasreal or not before Mr. Lin s dismembered body was found andMontreal police began an investigation. The scene of the crime, a second-floor studio apartment overlookingan expressway in Montreal, still contained the marks of violencedays after the killing. A double mattress and a crumpled pink sheetwere stained with dried blood. Splotches of blood also covered thefloor of the fridge. The rental apartment had been the home of Mr. Magnotta. He hadmoved in three to four months ago, the building s superintendentsaid. Mr. Magnotta and the victim knew each other, crossing paths at somepoint this spring. Acquaintances of Mr. Lin recalled he was lookingfor love. The last entry on his Facebook page was dated May 11. Itincluded a photo of a park on which he wrote: "It's too, too,too, beautiful." The murder of Mr. Lin has provoked widespread shock and anger inChina, where many believe the crime was racially motivated. TheChinese embassy in Ottawa has warned citizens living or travellingin Canada to "strengthen their personal security" in thewake of the deadly attack. Huang Kankan, Mr. Lin s former boss at the convenience store inthe working class Montreal neighbourhood of Verdun, said he looksforward to Mr. Magnotta s trial, and the possibility justice willbe served. Mr. Huang described Mr. Lin as a reliable worker who wasusually in good humour. I feel much better now that a suspect is caught. People will feelmuch safer, he said. Mr. Huang said he had not heard from Mr.Lin s parents, who are planning to head to Montreal to collecttheir son s remains. But he says he expects to see them when theyarrive. It s kind of the Chinese way of doing things, he said. Mr. Lin s death is the second killing of a Chinese student inCanada in just over a year, following last April's murder of YorkUniversity student Liu Qian, part of which was watched on Skype byher boyfriend back in China. Raised in the Toronto neighbourhood of Scarborough, Mr. Magnottahad a self-aggrandizing online persona -- and an extensive one. He claimed to be a bisexual porn star, a famous model and a worldtraveller who drove expensive cars. He was rumoured to have datedOntario schoolgirl-killer Karla Homolka and to have had plasticsurgery to look like 1950s American film icon James Dean. In reality, it appears Mr. Magnotta worked mostly as an escort. Healso appears to have travelled extensively. Photographs posted onhis website show him posing at landmarks in Moscow, Paris, New Yorkand on a tropical beach. Acquaintances of the Toronto native describe him as manipulative,needy and volatile. He was prone to outbursts of anger. One formerlover recalled that he joked about killing people and animals. Heapparently had a child, harboured a seething anger towards hisparents and hinted at a traumatic childhood. Mr. Magnotta went by several aliases, including Vladimir Romanovand Mattia Del Santo. He was born Eric Clinton Kirk Newman, butlegally changed his name on Aug. 12, 2006. A Facebook group started in December, 2010 had been tracking Mr.Magnotta after videos of kittens being killed was posted onYouTube. The group sent its evidence to the Ontario Society for thePrevention of Cruelty to Animals, which began an investigation inFebruary, 2011. Ontario SPCA spokesman Brad Dewar wouldn t reveal whether Mr.Magnotta is a suspect in the animal-cruelty case, but noted lastweek that the organization had reached out to law-enforcementagencies around the world for help, including municipal policeservices in Toronto and Montreal, the RCMP and FBI, and ananimal-welfare organization in the United Kingdom. We spent 18 months warning the police and what did they do? Facebook group member Rob Lynn, who lives in England, wrote onlinehours after police revealed last Tuesday they were on the hunt forMr. Magnotta in connection with the Montreal killing. The search for him turned to France early on. Police say Mr. Magnotta boarded a plane to France at Montreal sTrudeau Airport on May 26, one day after the video of the slayingwas posted online. The man who once had a blog entry posted under his name entitled"How To Completely Disappear And Never Be Found" hadapparently left breadcrumbs scattered across Paris. Police inFrance had been tracking him through cellphone signals, accountsfrom witnesses and video surveillance. Mr. Magnotta s family in the southern Ontario city of Peterboroughdeclined to comment on his arrest Monday. They had told police theyhadn t seen him in about a year.
