(The Blaze/AP) — The 29-year-old Canadian porn actor accused of videotaping a gruesome murder before posting it on the internet has been arrested in Berlin, according to reports.
Bild newspaper in Germany first revealed police sources confirming that Luka Rocco Magnotta was apprehended, after a manhunt that spanned the Atlantic.

Prior to his Berlin arrest, police suspect Magnotta was in Paris.
Witnesses say the suspected killer spent his time in the city partying and having a good time, before fleeing his hotel room just as police descended. The pornographic actor reportedly left dirty magazines and airsick bags behind, in the room.

Magnotta is wanted for threatening the Canadian prime minister, first-degree murder, defiling a corpse and using the mail system for delivering “obscene, indecent, immoral or scurrilous” material.
Specifically, he is suspected of killing and dismembering Jun Lin – a 33-year-old Chinese university student he dated – and mailing the victim’s body parts to Canadian political parties.
Kankan Huang, the owner of a Montreal convenience store where the murdered Jun Lin worked about 10 hours a week, said the victim was a “responsible, polite cashier.” He said he knew something was wrong when the man didn’t show up for work last week because he had never missed a shift, but was shocked to hear of the clerk’s gruesome death.
Jun Lin, 33, was a Chinese student who had moved to Montreal to study
“This is the kind of guy that’s looking for attention,” Montreal Police Commander Lafreniere said of Magnotta, who has been branded the “Canadian Psycho” by the press.
“He likes to glorify himself with the web. The web will glorify him, [but] the web is also going to bring him back to justice because there are a lot of pictures of him out there and it will help lead him to us.”
This is a breaking story. Updates will be added.

Posted on June 4, 2012 at 8:59pmHe is just the type that is coming to dominate our societies and governments. All they care about is drugs, sex, and power/money. They have learned how to work together to dominate and overwhelm us. They are in minority but they are so ruthless it makes us think they are in majority and know our every move. Obviously this psycho has always known he would go to prison just like some of our latino gangsta do. It will give him a lot more power once he gets out. They have learned to subvert the system and use it to their advantage. This is the drug culture. It is taking over the world. He will learn much about the law while behind bars, might even become a lawyer. This would make him invaluable to the left. Even if he doesn’t he will learn many valuable skills and make many valuable contacts. He is a made man, right in the middle of the drug trade, and he has no conscious. The trade is booming and they are awash in money. Grabbing all the power and taking over whole countries and soon the world. He has nothing to fear. Except being without his dope. Without his dope he is a sick crybaby. He will tell you anything you want to know for his dope.

Posted on June 4, 2012 at 8:24pmIsn’t the following observation interesting?
1. Arrested in an Internet cafe in Karl-Marx-Straße in the district of Neukölln. Karl Marx Street!
2. Wears a jacket with a “RUSSIA” inscription.
3. Threatens the Republican Party.
A complete profile, isn’t it?

I am hijacking this post as I thought it wasn’t likely that you would go back to the other one. I just wanted to thank you for setting me straight in that other article; after further research it is clear that Stalin’s involvement was essential to the creation of the State of Israel, and that the USSR’s role was far more active than that of the US. It definitely is a seldom highlighted fact. Thanks again.
And back to that article, I’m very glad they arrested this disgusting individual…

Posted on June 4, 2012 at 2:06pmSomeone here said earlier he would be a likely NDP (New Democratic Party) candidate in Canada. Recall what what of their members of Parliament, Yvon Godin, said in the early days of this investigation:

‘people are unhappy about the direction the government is taking the country, they are sad’
classy people, those NDPers, aren’t they.

Posted on June 4, 2012 at 12:04pmWith Canada’s lax criminal sentencing system. All these expenses of finding him, and now bringing him back, housing him, providing legal council, etc. He is gunna get life in prison. In Canada that will be about 7 years. We will offend the Gay/Lesbian part of society, he will blame his parents for something. He will write a book and run for the New Democratic Party and become party leader months after release. All he has to do is wave a placard for disadvantaged Quebec Students, and complain about Toronto’s Rob Ford, and he’s in. Just wait. and oh yeah, blame it on Mike Harris.
