Luke Rocco Magnotta, a Canadian citizen, has been arrested by German police in Berlin. Mr. Magnotta was sought for in connection with the murder of Jun Lin. Mr. Magnotta also allegedly committed cannibalism, and mailed the severed limbs of Mr. Lin to Canadian police, which sparked international interest in the murder. Mr. Magnotta fled Canada following the murder, but police identified him throguh fingerprint evidence as the killer. Mr. Magnotta was arrested at a Berlin internet cafe, whose owner became suspicious when he recognized Mr. Magnotta's face.
The Canadian government will attempt to extradite Mr. Magnotta from Germany, though the process could take a lengthy period of time.
