Suspect in cannibalistic murder returns to Canada
MONTREAL | Mon Jun 18, 2012 8:24pm EDT
(Reuters) - A porn movie actor accused of first-degree murder in connection with the killing, dismembering and cannibalizing of a Chinese student in Montreal was flown back to Canada on Monday from Germany, where he was arrested.
Canadian suspect Luka Rocco Magnotta, 29, accused of killing student Jun Lin and sending his feet and hands in the mail to two Canadian political parties and two Vancouver schools, was deported two weeks after his arrest in a Berlin cyber cafe.
A Canadian military plane carrying Magnotta, in the custody of Montreal police, touched down in Montreal at about 7 p.m. EDT (2300 GMT), and police made no apologies when asked why the government used the military.
"I'm going to reverse the question. How can we bring him back to Montreal on a commercial flight with other people on board? That wasn't a hard one (to decide)," Montreal police spokesman Ian Lafreniere told reporters at the airport.
