Ottawa

A mattress and sofa reportedly taken out of the apartment of Luka Rocco Magnotta lie just outside an apartment building in Montreal on May 31, 2012. Interpol on May 31 joined the hunt for Magnotta, a Canadian porn star, suspected of the grisly murder and dismemberment of a man, as a purported video of the killing surfaced online. The items were thrown out after police inspected the apartment on May 30. An investigation was launched May 29 when a package sent from Montreal was partly opened by the receptionist at the Conservative Party office in Ottawa, who called police after seeing blood stains and being overwhelmed by the smell. Hours later, a second suspicious package was intercepted by Canada Post at a nearby mail sorting facility. It 'contained a human hand,' said police. Soon, the probe shifted to Montreal where a torso was discovered by a janitor in a suitcase in a pile of garbage. Police said the torso belonged to a white male. It is believed that the victim and the suspect knew each other. Authorities say they believe the suspect, also known as Eric Clinton Newman and Vladimir Romanov, may have fled the country.
