Default Luka Rocco Magnotta case linked to body parts sent to Vancouver schools, police confirm

Montreal police have taken over the investigation after two body parts were delivered in the mail to Vancouver-area schools, as detectives have linked the case to their investigation of Luka Rocco Magnotta.

Montreal Police Cmdr. Ian Lafreniere said his agency was taking over the investigation as the packages were sent from Montreal.

The boxes that were sent to the Vancouver schools are said to be ‘very similar’ to those sent to Ottawa, in which a foot and hand were sent to the offices of the federal Liberal and Conservative parties.

On Tuesday, Vancouver police deputy chief Warren Lemcke said one package was delivered to False Creek Elementary School at about 1 p.m. Tuesday local time, containing a human hand. An hour later, another package with a human foot inside arrived at St. George’s School, a private boys school in the city’s west side.

Police have said those body parts belonged to Chinese student Jun Lin, whose torso was found in a back alley in Montreal with the hands, feet and head removed.

Lin’s death prompted an international manhunt for Magnotta, who was arrested in Berlin on Monday and is expected to be extradited to Canada.

Four members of Lin’s family, including his parents, arrived in Montreal Tuesday night, a Chinese consulate official confirmed. Zheng Xu said they will meet with the police, and then the media soon afterwards.

Meanwhile, Montreal police confirmed Wednesday that another foot found there was a fake, after initially saying it was a human foot.
