THE man killed in a videotaped attack that was discovered after body parts were mailed to Canada's top political parties was a Chinese student, police said yesterday, as authorities in France searched for the suspect, a Canadian porn actor.
Montreal Police Commander Ian Lafreniere identified the victim as Lin Jun, 33, from central China's Wuhan City. Police have said he dated Luka Rocco Magnotta, the suspect.
A senior French police official said he is sure Magnotta is in France and another said Magnotta apparently flew to Paris from Montreal last weekend, before the case emerged.
Lin was last seen on May 24. Lafreniere said the murder occurred the night of May 24-25, and the suspect left for Europe on May 26. "He is a Chinese citizen who studied at a university here in Montreal and was here for a certain time," Lafreniere said. "Thanks to the Chinese Embassy, we have been able to reach the family with the sad news of what happened."
Police say Magnotta filmed the murder. A video posted online shows one man stabbing another with an ice pick while the victim lies naked. The man later reveals he has slashed the other man's throat. He also dismembers the corpse and performs sexual acts with it.
