(Newser) – The international manhunt for Luka Rocco Magnotta ended today at an Internet café in Berlin, where police nabbed the porn actor/alleged killer, sources tell German newspaper Bild. Magnotta, who is accused of killing and dismembering a man on camera and then mailing the body parts to Canadian political parties, was last seen in Paris, but French authorities had come to suspect he had hopped a bus to Berlin, the National Post reports.

Authorities caught Luka after someone in the café recognized him and tipped them off, police said, according to CNN. He offered no resistance as he was taken into custody.

I hope this psycho freak stays locked up in Germany and he is not returned to Canada for a long time.  The German jails and laws are not as cushy (excuse the pun) as Canada's.

I assume he went to Germany because he craved German food (AKA his next victim). I hope the German police put him on a vegetarian diet in order to wean him off meats. In the meantime someone please pass me the sauerkraut.
