MONTREAL -- Police confirmed Wednesday that a human body part found in a Montreal park is indeed the missing head of Jun Lin, a major break in his murder case that will help bring some closure to his family.

Lin, 33, was killed and his body was dismembered in late May in a particularly gruesome slaying that made international headlines.

The rest of the computer science student's body had been found -- and Montreal police had repeatedly declared recovery of his head a priority.

A spokesman for the force said detectives were notified of the match Wednesday following a laboratory analysis, which confirmed that a body part uncovered in Montreal's Angrignon Park on Sunday was Lin's head.

"All of the body parts have been found," Const. Raphael Bergeron said.

Bergeron said the Chinese national's family was informed of the development.

With the help of sniffer dogs, officers found the head on the edge of a pond in the sprawling west-end park.

Police have indicated they were acting on a tip, but they have declined to reveal the source of the information.
