Police launch Canada-wide manhunt for suspect in grisly body-parts case
by Christopher Guly
OTTAWA, May 30 (Xinhua) -- Montreal police issued a Canada-wide warrant Wednesday for a 29-year-old man wanted in connection with a homicide in which the victim's body parts were shipped by mail to the headquarters of two of Canada's main political parties in downtown Ottawa.
Luka Rocco Magnotta, who, according to the website of a boyish-looking man with the same name (Luka-Magnotta.org) self-identifies as a "young gay twink" model and is known to be a porn star and stripper, is believed to have filmed the killing and dismemberment of the male victim whom police say Magnotta knew.
Police reportedly have video evidence of that grisly crime but it's unclear whether it's the same "1 Lunatic 1 Ice Pick" video posted online at BestGore.com. In it, a man dressed in black whose face is never revealed, uses an ice pick to repeatedly stab another man in the abdomen while the victim is restrained on a bed.
The murderer then decapitates and dismembers the victim, who appears to be of Asian descent, followed by grotesque and disturbing scenes of necrophilia, cannibalism and a small animal -- described by the Canadian-operated website as a black-and-white dog -- eating from the stump of the dead man's leg.
On Tuesday morning, a caretaker discovered a headless, limbless decomposing torso in a suitcase on a curb piled with garbage near a blue-collar Montreal apartment building where Magnotta was a tenant.
Shortly before noon that day, the governing Conservative Party of Canada received a bloodstained package reportedly containing a severed human left foot. On Tuesday evening, police intercepted a package at a Canada Post Ottawa mail-sorting facility reportedly containing a severed human left hand and addressed to the Liberal Party of Canada.
Both packages were sent from a fake address in Montreal. Police also believe all of the body parts are from the same male victim -- although based on media reports, it's unclear as to whether he was white or an Asian man who was reported missing.
More of the victim's body parts could be in Canada's mail system, warned police, who have identified Magnotta as the prime suspect in this, Montreal's 11th homicide of 2012.
Although he has no criminal record, Magnotta was convicted on four counts of fraud in Ontario seven years ago and served 16 days in pre-trial custody, according to a Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) report Wednesday.
The man, who once lived in Toronto from where he is believed to have originated, has also been linked to killing kittens and posting videos of it on YouTube.
CBC also reported that police are investigating a possible connection between Magnotta and convicted Canadian killer, Karla Homolka, although he told a Canadian journalist in 2007 that he had never even met the woman who was released from prison two years earlier after spending 12 years behind bars following her manslaughter conviction in the murders of two Ontario teenage girls.
Magnotta, who reportedly changed his name from Eric Clinton Kirk Newman in 2006 and who also goes by several aliases including Vladimir Romanov, is 1.78 metres in height, weighs 61 kg, and has black hair and blue eyes, according to Montreal police.
Merkel offers support for Canada-EU free trade deal

OTTAWA, Aug. 16 (Xinhua) -- Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper received a boost Thursday from German Chancellor Angela Merkel for his country's bid to formalize a free trade pact with theEuropean Union (EU) and termed the relationship with Germany as one of "certain friends in an uncertain world."
Merkel, in Ottawa for her first visit to Canada since becoming Chancellor in 2005 and also the first such visit by a German Chancellor in a decade, said at a joint news conference with Harper that she favored a "speedy conclusion" to Canadian and European Commission negotiations for the proposed Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement between Canada and the 27-nation EU.
Free trade is "one of the best engines of growth," while protectionism is "one of the greatest dangers to growth," Merkel said.
Harper pointed out the trade deal with the EU which would be Canada's second-largest pact since the 1994 North American Free Trade Agreement with the United States and Mexico would give Canada access to over 500 million consumers, who comprise the world's largest market.
Finalizing the Canada-EU trade agreement in difficult economic times should inspire major developed countries "to move forward on a trade agenda," Harper said.
According to latest statistics by Eurostat, Canada, the second largest country in the world in terms of area, is EU's 11th most important partner worldwide with a bilateral trade volume recorded at a total value of 46.8 billion euros (57.56 billion U.S. dollars) in 2010.
Both leaders also addressed the so-called "elephant in the room " of Canada's unwillingness to contribute to a 450 billion dollars International Monetary Fund (IMF) to bail out the euro zone.
Harper said that issue and Canada's quest for a trade pact with the EU are "unrelated matters" and that increased trade is " essential for growth on both sides of the Atlantics."
Merkel said it would be a "great disservice" to not support Canada's trade agenda with Europe since it could help lessen the debt crisis plaguing the continent.
She also praised Canada's "tested and proven" economic approach to dealing with the recession, through both stimulus spending and government expenditure cuts, which could serve as a model for other countries.
Harper admitted that the debt and fiscal crises are very real in Europe, noting that "we can't lose sight of the necessity of continuing to focus on the creation of jobs and growth and a Canada-EU trade agreement is one of the most important things we can do in that regard."
"We have, as I've said before, complete confidence in our ability of our European friends that they have the means and the will to address their issues," he said. "We'll continue to pursue it to a successful conclusion."
Issues of international peace and security, particularly Syria, were on the agenda of their discussions, but none of them elaborated.
Harper and Merkel held bilateral talks Thursday morning in the Prime Minister's Parliament Hill office, which followed a three- hour meeting over a dinner of locally farmed elk at Harper's country retreat at Harrington Lake, Quebec, not far from the national capital, on Wednesday.
Merkel left Ottawa Thursday afternoon and traveled east to Halifax, where the onetime German environment minister visited a world-class aquatic research laboratory and witnessed the signing of a research partnership focused on ocean risks involving Canadian and German scientists, before departing for home.
Over 3 million Canadians trace their roots to Germany.
