Montreal Police say the victim of Luka Rocco Magnotta was a Chinese citizen who attended Concordia University in Montreal where he studied engineering. Lin Jun, 33, was last seen on May 24 and was reported missing on May 29 by family.

Magnotta is believed to have posted the killing to an internet gore site before sending parts of his victim’s body through the mail, including a foot that arrived at Conservative Party headquarters in Ottawa earlier this week.

Montreal Police believe Magnotta flew out of Montreal’s Trudeau airport on May 26 and French police are searching for him, according to CBC.

Magnotta was a pornographic film actor and once worked as an exotic dancer in Toronto. He was falsely rumored to have had an affair with serial killer Karla Homolka.
