Porn actor named as suspect in case of severed foot sent to Tory HQ

MONTREAL — Police have named a suspect in the shocking case where dismembered body parts were mailed to Ottawa, including the headquarters of the governing Conservative party.

Montreal police say 29-year-old Rocco Luka Magnotta is wanted in connection with a suspected homicide.

A man by that same name has a huge presence on the Internet -- as a low-budget adult film actor and for controversial videos he has posted online in the past.

There is considerable online chatter that the killing and other gruesome acts on the body were videotaped and posted on the Internet.

The other body part was addressed to the Liberal Party but was intercepted. The sucpets real last name is Newman. Another page with one the suspects names and picture has been discovered. It dates 2009

the police have a video of the killing, and there's little doubt that this guy is oddly political, judging from some of his posts.

This is too bizarre.

That's him all right. I wonder if these posts should be brought to the attention of the police?

so I doubt police would have much interest at this point.



He is said to have spread rumors about a relationship with Karla Homolka. Looks like he tried to do so here, as well.

to providing police with the information. Please feel free Canuck. I'm sure the ordeal hits much closer to home for you, than someone in the US.

PS - he is also posting on his Facebook as an alias I believe. There are people defending him on his page, which I would imagine would have to be him.
