Accused killer 'porn actor' arrested in Berlin

Tue 5 Jun 2012 In: International News

A gay Canadian 'porn actor' suspected of murdering and dismembering his Chinese lover and mailing his body parts to Canada's top political parties has been arrested in Berlin. Luka Magnotta, 29, was reportedly arrested at a café where he had spent two hours reading media coverage about himself. A café employee had recognised him from the global media coverage of the gruesome case and flagged down a police car. Confronted by seven officers, "He tried at first giving fake names but in the end he just said: 'You got me'," said police spokesman Guido Busch. "He didn't resist." Magnotta is wanted by Canadian authorities on suspicion of killing Jun Lin, a 33-year-old man he dated, and mailing his body parts to Canada's two top political parties. They say Magnotta filmed the murder of the student and posted it online.
