Police in France say they’re on fugitive’s trail

By now you’ve seen the Interpol surveillance image from France that authorities believe shows Luka Rocco Magnotta.

“The man was seen in France, that’s what French authorities told us,” police spokesman Ian Lafreniere told reporters on Sunday while cautioning that the fugitive may now be on the move.

The Canadian Press goes on to quote Lafreniere: “He can travel, he’s someone who has been known to travel, so we’re not taking any chances and we want to keep an open mind. We’ve received more than 360 tips, it’s huge, people really want to help.”

French papers are abuzz with reports on the man wanted in connection with the death and dismemberment of Jun Lin. One report suggested Magnotta’s belongings were found in a Paris hotel. Another said police were tracking the 29-year-old by his cellphone.
