Daily Mail - The international manhunt for the gay porn star and suspected murderer dubbed the Canadian Psycho has ended with his arrest in the German capital Berlin.
Luka Rocco Magnotta, 29, was seized in Helin Tele and Internet Cafe on Karl-Marx-Strasse in the working class Neukoelln district of the city this morning.
The café was raided by armed police shortly after 11.30am after he was recognised by Kadir Anlayisli
Magnotta was pinned to the floor and handcuffed without offering any resistance.
It is understood he was searching the internet for articles about himself and his alleged crimes when he was caught.
Eyewitnesses said armed officers asked the suspect ‘Are you the wanted man?’ and he responded ‘Yes, that’s me,’ he said.
The arrest brought to an end an international trawl spanning thousands of miles and hundreds of police officers across two continents.
A man at the internet cafe who described himself as the ‘boss’ but who would not give his name , confirmed Magnotta had been there.
‘Then the cops came and it was all over for him,’ he said.
‘It all happened very quickly, in a blur. Everyone is beating a path to my door. But the police have told me not to say too much.’
The arrest – which took place in an area known for its gay bars and sordid sex joints – brought an end to an international trawl spanning thousands of miles and two continents.
