(Newser) – A human hand and foot were received by two schools in Vancouver yesterday, and police suspect there's a link to the gruesome Luka Magnotta case. The Canadian, who was arrested in Berlin earlier this week, is believed to have murdered and dismembered a man in Montreal before sending one hand and foot to political offices. Investigators are trying to determine whether the body parts sent to an elementary school and a private all-boys school in Vancouver belong to the Montreal victim—a Chinese student whose right foot, right hand, and head are still missing, reports the Globe and Mail.

Magnotta, a former escort and porn actor, has told German authorities that he will not fight the extradition process, meaning he could be back in Canada to face charges as soon as the end of this week. The murder and dismemberment of the victim was captured in a video posted online before Magnotta fled Canada for Europe, say investigators. Police in Montreal have additional evidence suggesting that Magnotta ate parts of the victim, reports the Province.

I suggest that they throw him out of the airplane somewhere over the north Atlantic. And video that.
