A tip led investigators to a small lake in Angrignon Park in the southwest Montreal neighbourhood of Ville Émard Sunday where they found what appeared to be a human head, a police source said.

Lin’s torso was found May 29 after a janitor at a Montreal apartment building became suspicious of a suitcase left behind after garbage pickup and opened it.

On the same day, a foot arrived in a package delivered to the Conservative Party of Canada in Ottawa and a hand was intercepted at a Canada Post warehouse in the same city before it could be delivered to the Liberals.

The other body parts arrived at the Vancouver schools about a week later.

Authorities had previously said the only body part missing was the head.

The stomach-churning details of the slaying, and the subsequent international police search, whipped up a storm of media interest around the world.
