Magnotta will not fight extradition, Berlin police say

Berlin (CNN) -- Luka Rocco Magnotta, the Canadian porn actor accused of killing and dismembering a man and mailing body parts to politicians, will not fight extradition following his arrest in Germany, a Berlin police official said Tuesday.

Magnotta told a Berlin magistrate that he will return voluntarily to face charges in the death of university student Jun Lin, Chief Supt. Stefan Redlich of the Berlin police said.

The 29-year-old did not make any comment regarding the accusations against him, Redlich said.

Magnotta faces first-degree murder and other charges in last month's killing of Lin, a 33-year-old Concordia University student from China.

Authorities accuse Magnotta of dismembering Lin and mailing one of his hands and one of his feet to Canadian politicians. Lin's head and other hand and foot are still missing, Cmdr. Ian Lafreniere, a Montreal police spokesman, said Tuesday.

Police also believe Magnotta filmed the death and dismemberment and posted it to the Internet. Authorities have said the video shows Magnotta engaged in sexual acts involving body parts. On Tuesday, Lafreniere told reporters the video also included evidence of cannibalism.

Berlin police arrested Magnotta on Monday at an Internet cafe where he was browsing articles about himself. The arrest ended an international manhunt that began when the body parts were found in the mail.

Montreal police see no hurry in getting Magnotta back to Canada, Lafreniere said.

"At the moment, it is not a rush for us," he said. "On our side, believe me, we've still got an investigation to do."

Police will investigate allegations of animal abuse made by online animal rights activists who accused him of killing kittens, and also look into possible links to other crimes, Lafreniere said.

"We're in contact with different agencies, it's a fact," he said.

However, Lafreniere said investigators currently have no evidence linking him to other crimes.

He also said investigators would check out rumored links between Magnotta and a well-known Canadian.

While Lafreniere did not name that person, several Canadian newspapers have reported on rumors that Magnotta had dated notorious Canadian killer Karla Homolka.

Ontario police arrested Homolka and her husband in 1993 in the rapes and murders of three Ontario girls, including her own sister. As part of a plea bargain, Homolka served 12 years in prison.

CNN affiliate Canadian Broadcasting Corp. said Montreal police also were investigating a website that hosted the video. The site could face criminal charges for publishing obscene material, CBC reported, citing Lafreniere.

The Magnotta case began last week when a caller complaining of a strong smell coming from an alley behind Magnotta's Montreal apartment building summoned police, Lafreniere said. Investigators found a torso stuffed inside a suitcase, he said.

That same day, officials at Canada's Conservative Party headquarters received a package addressed to Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper that contained a foot. Officials later intercepted a package addressed to the Liberal Party that contained a hand.

DNA tests completed Tuesday showed both were Lin's, according to Lafreniere.

He said police don't believe Lin's missing body parts are in the country's mail system, but they are working with postal officials to make sure.

In addition to the video posted to the Internet, Lafreniere said investigators have reviewed surveillance video from his apartment building showing him carrying numerous bags downstairs.

Investigators believe Magnotta killed Lin on May 24 or May 25, posted the video, then took a flight to France on May 26.

He boarded a bus to Berlin on the morning of June 1, Lafreniere said.

Magnotta describes himself as 'a people person'

In the end, it was the keen eye of an employee at the Internet cafe in Berlin that helped police nab Magnotta.

The employee, Kadir Anlayisli, said he recognized the slight man who walked into the nondescript Helin Spatkauf Internet Cafe on Monday, but he couldn't quite figure out why he did.

But as Magnotta surfed the Web, poring over news accounts of the case in which he himself was the suspect, the realization dawned on Anlayisli.

"I looked in the papers and said, 'That's him who they're looking for, the porno killer,' " Anlayisli told reporters.

He flagged down a carload of German police trainees.

Magnotta initially denied his identity, police said. Then he gave up without a fight, stating simply, "OK, you got me."

Jesus fucking christ

Someone posted the video and I had watched it. Pretty jacked up shit.

That is something I will never watch.

PM link to vid plz?

PM link to vid plz?

This.

I gotcha both

Well that guy seems completely normal.

Just wondering how on earth you guys could watch a man kill, dismember, and violate a body without throwing up?

The longer you spend on the internet, the more desensitised to everything you become.

And it could be quite interesting. Well, I say "interesting" - it's something different, and something real. I must admit a vague curiosity to how similar to the real thing films have become.

Come now Lenny, I don't believe that holds true for all peoples. I spend a massive amount of time on the internet and I would still find that disgusting. The only reason I'd see to watch it is the one you put up there.

Eh. You've just not been to the 'right' internet sites yet.

I was raised on g0atse and tubgirl, and moved on to autopsy photos on 4chan. I'm pretty much unphased by anything now.

I've also seen pretty much every object you could ever think of get fucked. Things that come to mind are eel, chicken, and watermelon. I actually saw a video where two guys were fucking the same watermelon from either side. The internet is weird as shit.

I really really didn't need to know that K_A

I went to b0g.org after you introduced it to me for the first time. I remember being shocked and upset. Now I wish it was still up so I could show it to my friends. Watching that video, I was pretty much like "Oh, well that's fucked up. Looks pretty interesting." I'm just intrigued more than repulsed.
