Packages with body parts discovered at two Canadian schools may be linked to Luka Rocco Magnotta case, police say

(CBS/AP) MONTREAL - Two schools in Vancouver discovered packages containing a human foot and hand on Tuesday. Police said this could be the latest gruesome twist in the case of Canadian porn star Luka Rocco Magnotta, who is suspected of dismembering and eating his former lover.

However, police said they couldn't immediately confirm if the body parts in question belong to Chinese university student Jun Lin, whose hand and foot were discovered last week when they were mailed to Canada's top political parties.

Vancouver Deputy Police Chief Warren Lemcke said staff at False Creek Elementary School opened a package Tuesday afternoon, which contained what appeared to be a human hand. Another package containing what appeared to be a human foot was found by staff at St. George's private school for boys later in the day.

Magnotta, the 29-year-old suspect, was caught Monday at a Berlin café after evading police for days while he partied in Paris. German authorities said he would not fight extradition to Canada.

Martin Steltner, a spokesman for Berlin prosecutors, said German authorities are now waiting on the formal request for extradition from Canada. If Magnotta accepts the request, he could be back to Canada by the end of the week.

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.

Police Cmdr. Ian Lafreniere suggested Tuesday that police have an extensive, possibly unedited version, video footage of the alleged killing, which seems to show Magnotta eating parts of the body in his Montreal studio apartment, The Associated Press reports.

"We're keeping some details for ourselves," Lafreniere said. "As gross and as graphic as it could be, yes, it was seen on the video."

Meanwhile, the British Columbia Coroner's Service and the Vancouver police's major crime investigators have been called in to investigate the crime scene at False Creek Elementary and St. George.

"There is no indication any student or staff has been targeted at any school," Lemcke said. "This must have been a very traumatic incident for all involved in the schools involved in opening the packages and the Vancouver Police Department will assist any way we can with our victims services section."
