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.
Magnotta, believed to be originally from Toronto, was renting an apartment in a Montreal building that is now at the epicentre of the body-parts investigation.
It was behind that blue-collar mid-rise apartment that a man's torso was found in a locked suitcase Tuesday. On the same day, a foot was found in a package opened at Conservative headquarters and a hand was found at an Ottawa postal warehouse.
The building manager told The Canadian Press that Magnotta had been living there for about four months. In the manager's words, Magnotta seemed like a nice guy.
Police in masks have been combing through Apartment 208 in the brick building, zeroing in on that particular unit from which a rotten stench was drifting out, says a building resident.
The neighbour says police were showing people pictures of two men -- the suspected victim and the homicide suspect.
It was one male victim tied to all the body parts found Tuesday, Montreal police confirmed Wednesday. The packages in Ottawa were mailed from Montreal.
Police shared other new details about the case Wednesday.
"The suspect and victim knew each other," Montreal police Cmdr. Ian Lafreniere told reporters.
"It isn't linked to organized crime."
A man in the west-end Montreal building described the scene.
"I saw the suitcase and I was tempted to go get it," said Richard Payette, 60.
"It didn't look too damaged. I said, 'Maybe I'll go down and get it.' But I changed my mind."
The grisly discovery was made later, by someone else living nearby.
Police wearing masks were milling about Magnotta's second-floor apartment. Payette said the door of that particular apartment was left open for part of the day, and the smell of rotten meat was drifting out into the hallway.
The building manager said Magnotta had lived there for four months but hadn't been seen around in a while. He said there were never any complaints about noise in the unit, and that Magnotta passed a credit test to rent there.
"He seemed like a nice guy," said the manager, Eric Schorer.
Police said Magnotta has no criminal record.
And, no connection, in some photos, he looks like Justin Bieber.
Bieber, no foul intention here..he just looks like maybe he is copying you and the Euro skinny models.
What a twisted freak....
Probably upset they haven’t mandated kiddie porn in schools for job security

Is that the homo that was living in Barney Frank’s basement at one time?
Eew, God, he’s ugly. It sounds like a gay on Conservative hate crime.
Radical neo-marxist NDP member of Parliament Yvon Godin on tape seeming to blame the ruling Conservative party that Canadians are upset, murdering, making snuff films, engaging in cannibalism, mailing body parts and engaging in terror because of their policies:
” We have lots of people unhappy in our country. The way the country is going. This is not the country that we have seen for all our life. As the day I born, this not the country ...we go for the better future...many people are upset. I hope it not dat.”
Goodness! I suppose that the people and Robert “Willie” Pickton – (the pig farmer) were REALLY unhappy with the Liberal Party, eh?
If crazed murderers are what we are to use as measure and all...
Yvon—I’ll have to remember that four letter Canadian curse.
