A Canadian man wanted in his homeland on suspicion of killing and dismembering a student, then posting a video of the crime online, says he will not fight extradition from Germany where he was arrested, German authorities said yesterday.
Police arrested porn actor Luka Rocco Magnotta, 29, in a Berlin Internet cafe on Monday. He faces first-degree murder charges in Canada over the killing of Chinese student Lin Jun, 32, in Montreal.
"He made no objections to being extradited to Canada," said Martin Steltner, a spokesman for the Berlin city prosecutor, referring to Magnotta's appearance before a judge.
Steltner said the extradition order could be completed in the next few days and Magnotta, born as Eric Clinton Newman in Scarborough, Ontario, could then be put on a plane to Canada after German government approval of the order
Montreal police said the video showed the killer eating part of the body, but they gave no details, saying they first had to establish without doubt the footage was of Lin's murder.
"We have to confirm the authenticity of the footage we have. We believe it is (authentic), but now we've got to prove it," Montreal police spokesman Ian Lafreiniere told a news conference.
He said police had sifted through a truckload of debris from behind Magnotta's Montreal apartment, where a janitor found the torso of Lin's dismembered body in an abandoned suitcase, finding evidence including documents and clothing.
