Luka Magnotta Dismemberment Case

[frugal50]

No, I read about this story on Xinhuanet.com. The Xinhau News Agency is the largest news agency in China and reports to the Communist party. They publish online in 6 languages, including English.

If interested, they have an extensive article on the killing here.

I beg to differ! even the US isn't paying much attentiion to this case.... they are too focused on the boring Zimmerman/Trayvon case, they couldn't be bothered with "Canadian" news.

do you know which site? and the link for the murdering scene?!!!

I got the info about the sites taking/not taking the video down from a Montreal police officer during a press conference, which is posted on the CTV website. Even if I had the link to the murder video, I wouldn't provide it.

I circled two links in red from the first page. That's from 5 minutes ago.

And I've seen this story on CNN, FoxNews, MSNBC. News is a thing with me, I visit sites all over the world everyday.

Here's the text from the story from the Chinese News Agency:

Montreal police identify Chinese student as victim of body-parts killer

OTTAWA, June 1 (Xinhua) -- Montreal police on Friday identified Jun Lin, a 33-year-old Chinese student at Montreal's Concordia University, as the victim of suspected body-parts killer Luka Rocco Magnotta, now on Interpol's wanted-persons list.

Lin, who was born in Wuhan, capital of the central China's Hubei Province, arrived in Montreal last July to begin his studies. A missing person's report posted on the Montreal Chinese consulate- general's Chinese-language website said friends and family had lost contact with Lin on May 24 -- around the same time police believe Magnotta killed a man inside his second-floor apartment in west-end Montreal.

A headless, limbless torso was discovered in a suitcase not far from the rundown apartment building on Tuesday, the same day parts of the same body (a hand and a foot) were mailed to two of Canada' s major political parties in Ottawa.

Montreal police said Lin knew Magnotta, and there are reports the two men dated.

Magnotta, a 29-year-old, Toronto-born onetime gay model, escort, stripper and actor, faces charges of first-degree murder and committing an indignity to human remains.

The Chinese consulate-general in Montreal issued a French- language statement Friday condemning the murderer who committed a "horrible and hateful crime using exceptionally cruel methods with extremely harmful effects," while extending its deepest condolences and sympathy to Lin's family as it is trying to bring his relatives to Montreal.

The Chinese consulate also reiterated what police have said about the case not involving organized crime targeting a particular ethnic group, but still called on Chinese citizens and students in Montreal to be vigilant.

Police believe a 10-minute online "1 Lunatic 1 Ice Pick" video featuring the New Order song "True Faith" used in the 2000 horror film, American Psycho, and posted on the Edmonton-based "Best Gore " website on May 25, showing a man using an ice pick to kill what appears to be an Asian man and later dismembering, sexually defiling and seemingly cannibalizing the body constitutes videotaped evidence of the grisly murder.

Montreal police said Magnotta flew out of Montreal on May 26 and is believed to be in France. However, Montreal police warned the slender and boyish-looking suspect, who changed his name from Eric Clinton Newman and also goes by the name of Vladimir Romanov, could have disguised himself as a woman and be wearing a wig -- an accessory his Montreal neighbors had often seen him don.

Meanwhile, Britain's tabloid, The Sun, referred on Friday to encounters its reporters had with the "baby-faced weirdo" last December after the newspaper ran a story about online footage of kittens being suffocated and fed to a python. Magnotta, who has been linked to the videotaped acts of animal cruelty, showed up unannounced at The Sun's London offices to deny he was responsible.

Soon afterward, the newspaper received an email believed to be from Magnotta, which read "next time you hear from me it will be in a movie I am producing, that will have some humans in it, not just pussys [sic]," with a smiley face attached. "Once you kill, and taste blood, its [sic] impossible to stop."

The Sun said it contacted Scotland Yard about the python-eating- kitten video and the email message, but were told by London police that the case was "outside their jurisdiction."

On Thursday, Interpol issued a Red Notice for Magnotta, whom Montreal police have described as 1.78 meters in height, weighing 61 kg, with black hair and blue eyes, which has been circulated in Arabic, English, French and Spanish to its 190 member countries.

In 2005, Magnotta was convicted of fraud in Canada. On Friday, the Ottawa Citizen newspaper reported that he was also previously accused, under his birth name of Eric Clinton Newman, of stealing 17,000 Canadian dollars (about 16,400 U.S. dollars) from a woman and sexually assaulting her.

Pretty full report.

Pretty full report.

hate to break it to you but..... that newspaper caters to foreigners living and work in China, they do have lots of Brits and Americans in China who needs access to English newspapers! if you check the Mandarin papers, it's all propraganda related to communist China and it's agenda for Chinese people and Government policy.

he's a sick !@#$ right up there with Jeffrey Dahmer, who was also into Asian guys and cannabalism.

Uhuh. Okay. You underestimate Chinese press freedom. This is the age of the internet, and the Chinese government has adapted accordingly. They are not the Soviet Union of the cold war. Yes, they censor some government criticism, or attempt to, but little else. They want to be a world player - and they are a world player because they realize an uninformed population is counter-productive to prosperity. And prosperity is what is required for them to maintain their grip on power. Again, China of today is not the Soviet Union of the past. Or the North Korea of today.

Millions of their young come to western nations for education, then return home. They are free to do so. they are free to learn and see everything we have to offer.

You are thinking of China in an odd way. Almost like the way the stereotype of a paranoid American in Colorado with a bunker full of guns and freeze-dried food would.

Edit: And please don't yell.

In China there won't be any coverage on the victim's death, they are very secretive and quiet when publishing anything to do with the Western media and woulndn't want to reveal the victim's sexual orientation for fear it may bring shame to the family.... with a population of 2 billion, I'm sure they're focusing on something more newsworthy...... like the economy or nuclear weapons.

wrong, there IS extensive coverage on this case, especially in his birthplace, city of wuhan.

turns out the victim is not an only child, he also has a younger sister who will come to montreal to deal with the aftermath.

30/12/1978: born in wuhan
between 24/05/2012 and 25/05/2012: killed in montreal

both his parents have retired and are currently living in another province. the younger sibling now resides in another city. the house they have in wuhan is being rented out.

the victim also had two cats living with him, now they'll never be able to see the owner again.
