Interpol hunt ‘killer’ porn actor Luka Rocco Magnotta



Porn actor wanted in connection with a grisly murder may have fled North America, Canadian police say.

Luka Rocco Magnotta, who is suspected of posting body parts to political party offices in Ottawa, has been added to Interpol’s wanted list.

A human torso was found in a suitcase behind the 29-year-old’s Montreal flat.

Police suspect he may have left the country based on evidence found during a search of his flat, and a blog post he wrote about how to disappear.

Montreal Police Commander Ian Lafreniere said there was reason to believe Mr Magnotta may be in a foreign country.

“He left a letter on a website mentioning how to disappear for good, and secondly our investigation brought us some details that might let us think that he could be away from the country,” he told reporters.

Unnamed sources say he may have travelled to France, the Globe and Mail newspaper reports.

The suspect, also known as Eric Clinton Newman and Vladimir Romanov, worked as a bisexual porn actor and model, investigators said.

He has been linked to a video posted online in 2010 that showed two kittens being placed in a plastic bag and suffocated.

Police described him as a white male, about 5ft 8in (1.78m) tall with blue eyes and black hair.

Lawyer accuses Toronto police of ignoring alleged murder video tip


TORONTO – Toronto police along with several law enforcement officials in the United States ignored a tip about a disturbing video posted online depicting the grisly murder and dismemberment of a man, an American lawyer says.

Roger Renville, a U.S.-based lawyer, says that on May 26 and May 27, he warned police stations in Toronto, Denver and Miami of a video posted on a website that shares gory content with its viewers.

“The video is horrific and the comments associated with the site prepared the viewer a little but . . . watching the video, I was both horrified and shocked,” he told Global News.

The video in question is now being examined by investigators in Montreal who believe it may be related to the vicious murder of a man, allegedly at the hands of a 29-year-old suspect.

Gruesome killing in Canada spurs international manhunt


A gruesome killing in Montreal has spurred an international manhunt for a Canadian man suspected of hacking apart a victim, then mailing pieces of the body to politicians.

Canadian police said Wednesday they were searching for Luka Rocco Magnotta, a 29-year-old model and porn actor who has used several different names. Interpol added Magnotta to its wanted list Thursday as police said he may have left Canada.

"There is no country in the world that is not talking about him," Montreal police Cmdr. Ian Lafrenière told CBC News Thursday morning.

Officials have not released the name of the victim. A dismembered torso was found in a suitcase in an alley behind a Montreal apartment Tuesday, the same day that a severed foot arrived by mail at the Conservative Party headquarters in Ottawa, according to Canadian media. Another package containing a human hand was stopped at an Ottawa postal facility before it reached the Liberal Party.

More body parts may be in the mail: The foot came with a note saying that six body parts had been sent, CTV News reported Wednesday. The suitcase holding the torso was found near Magnotta's second-floor apartment, which was reportedly still spattered with blood Thursday.

Life at Canada's most infamous crime scene; horror and cleanup in Apartment 208


MONTREAL - Residents at what is now Canada's most-talked-about crime scene congregated at their low-rent apartment building on Wednesday night, sucking on beers, discussing the macabre cleanup and gossiping about the killing in their midst.

What happened behind the red door of blood-soaked Apartment 208?

Police believe the second-floor bachelor unit in Montreal, which Luka Rocco Magnotta rented for $490 per month, was the scene of a gruesome crime that has locals' stomachs churning.

Magnotta, 29, is wanted in connection with a slaying, corpse dismemberment and the mailing of body parts to Ottawa. The search has gone international with Magnotta on Interpol's wanted person's list.

A small group of tenants and other curious neighbours squeezed into Magnotta's cramped apartment yesterday around suppertime.

Suspect in dismemberment case dated Karla Homolka
 Montreal man wanted for sending foot to Tory Party HQ; hand to Liberal Party


Montreal police have issued a Canada-wide warrant for Luka Rocco Magnotta - a man with a disturbing online profile who is now accused of murder after the grisly discovery of a torso, whose severed foot and hand were mailed to the Conservative and Liberal party offices in Ottawa.

Police also confirmed that the suspect at large in the gruesome murder and dismemberment once dated Karla Homolka - though in 2007, Magnotta denied he dated the notorious sex killer.

Mailed body parts video murder suspect flees

A Canadian porn actor suspected of mailing body parts to the headquarters of two major political parties after making a video of the killing might have fled North America, police say.

Montreal Police Commander Ian Lafreniere said on Thursday authorities believe Luka Rocco Magnotta fled based on evidence they found at his apartment, and based on a blog Magnotta once wrote about how to disappear.

The 29-year-old Magnotta has been added to Interpol's "wanted persons" list.

"We believe he may be in a foreign country," Lafreniere told The Associated Press. "He left a letter on a website mentioning how to disappear for good, and secondly, our investigation brought us some details that might let us think that he could be away from the country."

Lafreniere said they have an idea where he might have fled but declined to say where.

Lafreniere also said police have been trying to take down an online video that they believe shows Magnotta murdering a man he dated.

The video shows a man stabbing another man with an ice pick while the victim lies naked and tied up. The first man later reveals he has slashed the other man's throat. He also dismembers the corpse and performs sexual acts with it.

The Internet was hunting Luka Rocco Magnotta long before the murder

Is there anything we can do to stop a homicidal idiot from attaining his goal of worldwide fame?

Alleged killer and manhunt target Luka Rocco Magnotta (a.k.a. Vladimir Romanov, a.k.a. Kirk Newman, a.k.a. several other witless porn-stud aliases) seems to have dedicated his young life to the hollowest of dreams: fame for its own sake, fame by any means.   Today, he has achieved it. His pouty, surgically altered face is inescapable, accompanying hundreds of quickly turned around news items, including this one, all about a man few knew or cared about until he became a murder suspect.

The Globe and Mail reports today on Magnotta’s online history, an extensive trail of empty self-promotion including a vanity site, a number of Facebook profiles, porno performances, animal cruelty videos, troll-baiting comments and self-spread rumors about his relationships with celebrities–at least one of these seems to have been true: Montreal police have confirmed that Magnotta dated serial killer Karla Homolka (are there specialized talent agents who arrange these romances?).

Body-parts suspect has a long Internet trail

Luka Rocco Magnotta’s Internet trail is long, but it’s hard to know what’s real. Even his name isn’t the one he was born with: He was Eric Clinton Kirk Newman until he legally changed his identity on Aug. 12, 2006.

The slender 29-year-old Canadian has gone by other names, too, such as Vladimir Romanov and Mattia Del Santo, in his life on the Web, as a model and as a bisexual adult-film performer.

On the Internet, he billed himself as a star, as someone who was famous enough to date celebrities and even serial killers, such as Karla Homolka.

Most recently – until he was named on Wednesday as the prime suspect in a gruesome murder in Montreal – he was best known as the alleged “Vacuum Kitten Killer,” dubbed so by a Facebook group started in December, 2010, to track down the man responsible for posting a kittens-killing video on YouTube.

“We spent 18 months warning the police … and what did they do?” group member Rob Lynn, who lives in England, wrote online shortly after Montreal police revealed Mr. Magnotta was wanted in connection with the slaying of a man, whose body was severed and a part of it, a foot, mailed to Conservative Party headquarters. A hand, meanwhile, was destined for Liberal Party offices.

A Canadian porn actor suspected of mailing body parts to the headquarters of two major political parties after making a video of the killing might have fled North America, police said Thursday.
 

Let's hope he landed in country with security that can track him down.

Montreal Craigslist users posted warnings about man resembling Luka Magnotta

OTTAWA — A Montreal man who posted personal ads on the website Craigslist said he was repeatedly contacted in recent weeks by someone who sent him pictures that closely resemble Luka Magnotta, the suspect in the bizarre body parts case.
 
The Craigslist user, who did want his name published, said he contacted Montreal police on Wednesday after seeing pictures of Magnotta in news reports.
 
Magnotta was identified as the prime suspect in the death of a Montreal man whose dismembered torso was found in a suitcase in Montreal and whose hand and foot were mailed to the Liberal and Conservative party offices in Ottawa.
 
He is the subject of a Canada-wide arrest warrant and is on INTERPOL’S most-wanted list.
 
The Craigslist user said he was repeatedly contacted by the person he believes is Magnotta between May 10 and 25 after posting several ads in the “men seeking men” section of the site.

Body-parts suspect may have gone to France after killing: sources

Luka Rocco Magnotta is believed to have travelled to France over the weekend, after the brutal killing of a man in Montreal and the shipping of at least two body parts by mail to political parties in Ottawa, sources say.

The Scarborough native is now on Interpol’s wanted persons list in relation to the recent murder and dismemberment of his alleged victim in a Montreal apartment.

A spokesperson for the Montreal police confirmed on Thursday that investigators “have good reasons to believe that [Mr. Magnotta] has left the country.”

He is believed to have flown to France, although his current whereabouts are not known, The Globe and Mail has learned.

Police call suspect Luka Rocco Magnotta ‘a wacko’

 ::snipping2::


Police were on the lookout for the victim’s other body parts, including his head, Lafrenière said. He added that it was not impossible that other parts had been mailed.
 
Lafrenière confirmed that police discovered Wednesday that Magnotta, a stripper who had done pornographic videos, had also dated notorious sex killer Karla Homolka. However, in 2007, Magnotta reportedly denied that he dated Homolka.
 

Lafrenière also confirmed that police learned Wednesday Magnotta had posted videos online of himself killing kittens.
 
Late Wednesday, CTV News reported that a note had been found in the box containing the severed foot. The note allegedly said that a total of six body parts had been distributed through the mail, and warned that the person responsible would kill again.

Magnotta fled to Paris, police say; arrant alleges murder of ‘unknown man’

OTTAWA — Luka Rocco Magnotta, the man at the centre of an international manhunt for a gruesome killing and dismemberment in Montreal, fled Canada for Paris on May 25, the day the killing took place, police say. His current whereabouts is unknown.
 
Magnotta has been charged with second-degree murder in the death “of an unknown person,” according to an arrest warrant made public Thursday afternoon at the Montreal courthouse. It is unusual in that it indicates the police have yet to identify the victim in the case.

More recently, he has been linked to a sickening “snuff video” that shows someone dressed in black repeatedly stabbing a man on a bed.

Police in Montreal found a headless, limbless torso in a suitcase on Tuesday near the apartment building where Magnotta lived in the Snowdon district of Montreal. The police have a video of the crime.
 

It sounds like this guy has traveled all over North America.

In this chain of depraved events orchestrated by a disturbed mind, it turns out that the severed human foot delivered to Tory headquarters was only the latest link.

Before that, someone repeatedly stabbed a young man with an ice pick. While both killer and victim lay naked, he dismembered the corpse and committed sexual and cannibalistic acts on it.

That same person apparently videotaped the gory scene and posted it on the Internet. The video is now being reviewed by Montreal police, who are investigating a case that has shocked the country.

   This guy is totally sick.
