"I feel like there is justice it does exist," said Kankan Huang,owner of a Montreal convenience store where Lin had workedpart-time as a cashier. Pei Zhang, a friend of Lin's, was also relieved when he got word ofMagnotta's arrest. Zhang said he met Lin at the convenience store,where the late student sought Zhang's advice for settling intoMontreal. A note left in a makeshift Montreal memorial on Monday reads "wegot that beast". (Shaun Malley/CBC) "He was very gentle and positive. Always keep smiling," said Zhangin an telephone interview with CBC News. "Every time we talk witheach other I feel he was a very good person."
