Montreal: Two schools in Vancouver were mailed the missing body parts—human foot and hand—on Tuesday. Montreal police suspect these parts could be of Lin Jun, the guy who was allegedly killed and later his body was dismembered by porn actor Luka Rocco Magnotta.

However, police did not confirm if these body parts belong to Magnotta’s victim.

Earlier, the police revealed at a news conference on Tuesday that the head, right foot and right hand of Lin were still missing. Later the same day, two packages, one containing a right foot and another containing a right hand, were opened by staff at the two schools in Vancouver.

The hand was delivered to False Creek Elementary School, the foot to St. George’s School about an hour later.

Berlin police arrested Luka Rocco Magnotta, 29, at a Berlin café after evading police for days while he partied in Paris. German authorities said he would not fight extradition to Canada.

Magnotta is wanted by Canadian authorities on first-degree murder and other charges. He is suspected of killing his 33-year-old lover Lin and mailing the victim’s dismembered body parts to Canadian political parties.

Lin’s torso was found in a suitcase in a Montreal alley last week, and other body parts, including a hand and foot, were mailed to the offices of political parties in Ottawa.
