Gay porn actor suspected in the killing of acquaintance, videotaping and posting online the dismemberment, a source says.

Looks like the Miami cannibal incident may have begun as some simple gay porn, too.

I wonder if that was the inspiration for the snuff film?

Will we get answers?

A gay porn actor is suspected in the killing of his acquaintance, videotaping and posting online the man's dismemberment and mailing the severed limbs to different locations in Ottawa, including to a political party's headquarters, according to a source with direct knowledge of the investigation.

Authorities are searching for Luka Rocco Magnotta, 29, who they say is allegedly responsible for a human torso discovered in Montreal, thought to be linked to a human hand and foot that were separately mailed from Montreal to Ottawa.

Magnotta, also known as Eric Clinton Newman, is a Montreal resident who allegedly knew the victim, identified only as a white male, Montreal police spokesman Ian Lafreniere told reporters on Wednesday.

The suspect has no criminal background, and his image and information related to him were later recovered from a "very graphic" website, Lafreniere said.

The source later confirmed that at least one of the websites examined by authorities was a pornographic site.

It's possible the body parts all came from the same dismembered victim, Lafreniere said, but police are still awaiting the results of forensic testing for confirmation.

"The two parts of the body that were found in Ottawa... we've got all the reasons to believe that it's linked to our homicide," he added, referring to the human torso found in Montreal.

Authorities said they are asking the public for help in locating Magnotta, after a "coast-to-coast" warrant was issued for his arrest. Police say they plan to charge him with murder once he's apprehended.

Lafreniere said authorities have also found other body parts, potentially from the same attack, which is believed to have been committed in Montreal. It would be the 11^th homicide there this year.

"It wasn't a random attack," Lafreniere noted. "They knew each other."

Lafreniere added that Magnotta had been "involved in some stuff on the web, that's for sure," though he would not elaborate.

The human foot was sent to the Conservative Party of Canada headquarters in Ottawa, prompting a hazardous materials team to investigate. The officers who responded noticed what appeared to be bloodstains on the box, police said.

Ottawa police Sgt. Steve Hodgson told reporters outside the office that the package had been addressed to the Conservative Party. Staffers had begun to open the package before calling police, he said.

The hand was intercepted by workers at a Montreal postal terminal.

Ottawa's major-crimes unit is checking with other police departments for similar cases and looking back through missing-persons files for any clues, according to Constable Marc Soucy, an Ottawa police spokesman.

"We're going to look at every avenue," he said.

In Montreal, the human torso was found behind an apartment building, authorities said.

I posted an article from earlier today in the misc crimes thread. That was before this other info was released though. Wow! Everyone here talking about this and my co worker was saying today that he heard this guy has ties with Karla Homolka. Either way it's sick and disgusting.

Eta: just seen your post in the other thread LC. Had no idea it was part of a snuff movie, I will have to put the news on see if they are saying anything else.

I know someone who lives a block away. This is bath salts abuse. There's a fuckload of history with the perp, and the victim was a homeless person, so it fits his rather frayed MO. I am utterly fucking fascinated. "A new form of acid" ...the poor fucking cop shot the perp six times, in the meantime the perp ATE THE VICTIMS FACE for a half hour. GROWLED AT SOMEONE WHO TOLD HIM TO STAND DOWN as he swallowed a mouthful of the victim's face.


I cant wait for the Walking Dead as the reason why to start popping up. ProTip, this is why I love Cracker. She sees this.

Whoa. Looks like this guy has been into killing animals on video as well... they always escalate.

Fox showed what looked to be a fatal motorcycle racing accident a few years back with a voice over making light of it.

I deleted the Fox channels from my remote and sent them a nasty eMail.

It was the sort of accident that could be staged and someone could be enmticed to do it for money.

People get sicker every year.

A low-budget porn actor suspected of sending dismembered body party to offices across Canada allegedly filmed himself hacking his victim's body up with an ice-pick and then posted the sickening video online.

Luka Rocco Magnotta, 29, is the subject of a massive manhunt after a man's maggot-ridden torso was found in a locked suitcase by his Montreal apartment block.

The sickening 'snuff video' footage, called '1 Lunatic 1 Ice Pick' and uploaded last week, shows a naked male tied to a bed frame being attacked with both an ice pick and a kitchen knife.

The Best Gore website says the film, which is unclear where or when it was filmed, then shows the victim being stabbed and having his throat slashed to the soundtrack of True Faith by New Order.

He is later decapitated, dismembered and sexually assaulted. It is believed he was already dead when the camera started rolling.

The man in the video, whose face is never revealed, then goes on to play with the corpse's body parts in a 'sexual manner'.

Doubt was initially cast on the veracity of the film but police have now confirmed 'it depicts the actual crime', the National Post reports.

Yesterday, police in masks combed through the blood-soaked Montreal studio apartment where the torso was discovered. A blood stained mattress remained there after they left.

Police Commander Ian Lafreniere said: 'For most of the officers that were there all night long this is the kind of crime scene they've never seen in their career.'

Police said Magnotta is also known by the names Eric Clinton Newman and Vladimir Romanov. They described him as white, 5ft 8in tall, with blue eyes and black hair.

This is so disturbing. Not that it matters much, but the police confirmed that he indeed did date Karla Homolka, herself a murderer was married to one and dated another murderer, how these sick people find each I don't know.

There is a couple of videos here, including one with the janitor who found the torso: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/s...spect.html

Also sound like they have been getting some solid tips, I hope he doesn't come anywhere near my city *shudder*

cbc - Montreal police said they've received 15 solid tips on Magnotta's whereabouts since Wednesday.

"We received many calls because a lot of people were shocked about this story," Lafrenière said.

"This is a very, very . . deranged person, so a lot of people have called and we got details now. [We've] been getting better info."

He said police are holding some information back to weed out false leads from the public.

I remember Andrew Cunanan and how he eluded police while committing murders in Minneapolis and Rush City Minnesota, Chicago Illinois, New Jersey and finishing up killing Gianni Versace in Miami Beach while on his murderous spree as he stayed one step ahead of police. People have good reason to be fearful of this guy. I think he has the same personality makeup and has nothing more to loose.

The nearly 11-minute video purports to show Mr. Magnotta attacking a naked man, who is tied to a bed frame, with both an ice pick and a kitchen knife, according to the description. The victim is stabbed, has his throat slashed and is later decapitated and dismembered.

The video, filmed in a dimly lit room, also shows the killer playing with his victim’s limbs and using one of them to masturbate. The attacker later performs a sex act on the dismembered, decapitated corpse. He also uses a knife and fork to slice a piece of fatty flesh from the victim’s rear, and then brings in a dog to eat the purported corpse.



the actual video is here. it is extremely disgusting.

it takes quite a while to load. watch at your own risk.

http://www.bestgore.com/beheading/1-luna...ick-video/

Oh God, I'm not watching.

*shudders*

I'd recommend avoiding the video. The descriptions are disturbing enough, and you get the idea.

It's another one of those things that can't be unseen.

I think the vid is blocked by my service provider or something, it won't load.

possibly. but it takes a very long time. i think a zillion people are watching it.

Has anybody watched it? I don't think my stomach could take it, besides no way am I clicking on it from my work computer.

Dick, maybe its your flash player?

i watched it Jez. and it's no fake. i expect it to vanish from the net at some point. but it's hard to control some of these sites.

OTTAWA, Ontario – A porn actor wanted in a case where body parts from a dismembered corpse were mailed to places including the Conservative Party headquarters might have fled North America, Canadian police said Thursday.

Montreal Police Cmdr. Ian Lafreniere said police 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 person's 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 committing the murder. 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.

Lafreniere said they were able to take down the video Tuesday night but that it keeps reappearing online.

Do you think he was already dead like the police have stated when he started filming LC?

I hope he is caught soon but am also somewhat relieved to hear that they think he is no longer in Canada.

For the sake of the victim i hope he really was dead before the camera started rolling. Would that be your guess LC? (as you said you watched it EDIT: just saw jez asked the same thing above) Since they mentioned the song that was playing i assume there was audio recorded as well? Unless he took the time to edit in music to the video...doubt it tho. Or that at least is possible to tell whether the victim is reacting at all?

As curious as i can be, i think i can pass on watching it. Even if i do give in i doubt i'd watch more than a minute. Some of the details reported by the media are enough to get my stomach churning.

I wonder if they were able to identify the dog as being Magnotta's? I'm guessing the dog didn't comply with eating the corpse? Unless what they actually meant by that was to eat the piece of ass meat he cut off?
