Luka Rocco Magnotta Arrested Monday in Berlin

Luka Rocco Magnotta Arrested Monday in Berlin

Luka Rocco Magnotta, the gay porn star who Canadian officials believe filmed himself murdering a former lover, dismembering him, partially eating the corpse, and mailing body parts, was arrested Monday in Berlin.

Magnotta allegedly mailed parts of his former lover's body to Canadian politicians and dumped over body parts in suitcases. Police say there is an 11-minute video of the gruesome crime. The murder victim is 33-year-old Jun Lin, a computer and engineering college student who was Magnotta's onetime lover.

From last year or the year before? There were a few, as I recall.

You kind of wonder if there is a connection, you know?

The other thing is I'd be willing to bet that drug abuse figured in this crime spree.

after he told the BBC and SUN magazine that the next time they heard about him, it wouldn't be about killing kittens but humans.

Why didn't anything happen with that? How did he slip out of Canada and into France?

What he did is sick beyond words. I couldn't watch the video he made of the murder, dismemberment, post-mortem assault and cannibalism but I watched a youtube of a man's reaction while he watched it and that was horrific enough.

That's one sick, sick dude.

I spent an entire day looking into him and reading some of the stuff he was posting on the net AS the manhunt was going on. Youtube was one of his particular favorites and people were sleuthing like mad.

It never crossed my mind to look for him here and when Mzmolly posted this, I was horrified because that wasn't allegedly him, that was him. He's the one who invented the story about him dating Karla Homolka and plastered it all over the web.

I don't even want to think about him linking up with an innocent DUer.

I've been IBB'ing for about a decade now, and yes, you run into all kinds, including straight out criminals, hardcore and otherwise. Unfortunately.
