(AP) – A Canadian porn actor suspected in the killing and dismemberment of a Chinese student is on his way back to Canada via military transport from Germany, where he was arrested this month. Luka Magnotta did not fight his extradition. He is suspected of killing Jun Lin and sending body parts to Canadian political parties and schools. Investigators say he posted a video online showing him having sex with the dismembered corpse.

"The government of Canada thanks the government of Germany for their swift and decisive action in this matter," said Canada's justice minister in a statement, adding that Magnotta was removed from Berlin today by a Canadian military transport and is in the custody of Montreal police. Magnotta is wanted for first-degree murder, defiling a corpse, threatening the prime minister, and using the mail system for delivering "obscene, indecent, immoral, or scurrilous" material.
