Fugitive Luka Magnotta is still in Germany where he was arrested by Berlin police, but he could soon be returned to Montreal.
Montreal Police commander Ian Lafreniere says the suspect is facing five charges involving the dismemberment of Chinese student Jun Lin.
“This is one of the largest manhunts that the Montreal police have been conducting. Especially in this case, we’ve been doing that in 190 different countries.”
Speaking with CKNW’s Simi Sara, Lafreniere says Magnotta’s downfall seems to have been his hunger for fame.
“He’d been using the web to glorify himself. Because his picture was so publicized, that it’s been a heck of help for us.”
The arrest was made after magnotta was recognized by another customer at a Berlin internet cafe.
