Ottawa, Ontario: Police is looking for a suspect in an odd case in which dismembered body parts were mailed to Ottawa at the headquarters of the governing Conservative party and other addresses.
Montreal police said on Wednesday Rocco Luka Magnotta, 29, is wanted homicide and dismemberment case.
“Some police officers have never witnessed a crime such as this,” Montreal police Cmdr. Ian Lafreniere told reporters, according to AP.
Police issued a nation-wide warrant for Magnotta, who is white, 1.78 metres tall, and weighs 61 kilos. He has black hair and blue eyes.
Magnotta was complaining that his life had been destroyed by rumours like he was dating sex-killer Karla Homolka, a newspaper articles says. However, it suggests that Magnotta may have helped spread those rumours himself.
The severed hand and foot shipped by mail to Ottawa Tuesday and a decomposing torso discovered in a Montreal suburb are all from the same male victim, police said.
“The suspect and victim knew each other,” Lafreniere said, adding “It isn’t linked to organized crime.”
He said the dismembered parts belonged to the same body, however, DNA confirmation would confirm the matter.
He said that there are still body parts missing from the crime scene. “Are there other body parts being sent by mail, this is one of the hypotheses we’re researching. There are many details we are keeping for ourselves.”
Lafreniere said the body was dismembered in an apartment that was a “very sordid” crime scene on Décarie Boulevard in the Côte-des-Neiges area of Montreal.
“As a police officer not too often we see this sort of crime scene.”
