Police identify body-parts suspect; severed hand bound for Liberals

Source: OTTAWA— Globe and Mail Update

Police allege the murder of a man in Montreal – and the subsequent mailing of at least two body parts to Ottawa – was the work of 29-year-old male model and adult-film performer Luka Rocco Magnotta.

One part, a foot, was delivered to Conservative Party headquarters. The second, a hand, was destined for Liberal Party offices, The Globe and Mail has learned.

The strange case has gripped Canada with the discovery of a torso in a suitcase in Montreal, a foot by staff at Conservative Party of Canada headquarters and a hand in another package by officials at Canada Post.

He told the Toronto Sun he has worked in the world of adult films and was born Eric Clinton Newman, before he legally changed his name. He also vigorously denied rumours of a romantic liaison with Karla Homolka, who has served a 12-year sentence for manslaughter.

So far the reform group has not lost any toes. And the Liberals have been kept out of the news by the RCMP/Reform party!

This Magnotta nutcase is a real piece of work.

This isn't his first exposure as a weirdo. He was actually interviewed by both the CBC and the Ottawa Sun before.

More coming out tomorrow, I hear. Rumors of a snuff video involving the victim.

he did post the snuff video on line and it includes him cannibalizing the victim. A couple of years ago this sicko posted video of himself torturing and killing kittens.

Hope they catch this sicko soon.

I wondered who whe would end up dating when she got out of prison. Her sentencing was a major mistake on the part of the Crown. She may have been the main driving force behind Paul Bernardo in the French/Mahaffy sex and torture murders in the early 1990s.

It's no wonder these two found each other.

I just don't understand what would possess someone to do this. Must be a very sick individual.

He wrote a piece about how to change identities and flee and posted it on a website a couple of years ago. Police now say he has fled to France. Hope they catch or kill him very soon.

and graduated to humans.
This is one big reason why society needs to watch out for animal abusers!
