MONTREAL — It was Lin Jun’s head.

Montreal police confirmed Wednesday that human remains found in Angrignon Park on Sunday belong to the 33-year-old Chinese national and Concordia University engineering student at the heart of a grisly killing and dimemberment case.

Luka Rocco Magnotta, a 29-year-old stripper and actor in porn films, returned to Montreal last month after an international man hunt which ended peacefully in an internet café in Berlin where Magnotta was sitting at a computer reading news stories about himself.

Magnotta has pleaded not guilty to five charges, including one of the first-degree killing of Lin, which is alleged to have taken place on the night of May 24 to 25.

The crime caused a sensation after a human foot was mailed to Conservative party offices in Ottawa.

Within hours, Montreal police discovered a torso in a suitcase in the garbage behind the Snowdon-area apartment building where Magnotta had been living. Over the course of the following week, other body parts turned up in the mail at Liberal party headquarters in Ottawa and at two schools in British Columbia.

A video which has circulated widely on the internet reportedly shows the killing and dismemberment.

Police said with discovery of the head, all of Lin’s body parts have now been recovered.

Police have not disclosed the source of the tip which led them to the park.

Magnotta is next scheduled to appear in court on Jan. 9. A preliminary hearing is slated to begin March 9.
