Severed Human Hand And Foot Found In Mail
 

Police are investigating after a human hand was found in the mail at an Ottawa post office, hours after a decomposing foot was sent to Canada's Conservative Party.

Detectives said both packages originated in the city of Montreal, where a dismembered torso was discovered by a janitor in a suitcase in a pile of rubbish.

All three body parts will undergo forensic testing to discover if they came from the same person.

The tests will also reveal whether the person was alive when the parts were severed, according to public broadcaster CBC.

The first package was partly opened by the receptionist at the headquarters of Prime Minister Stephen Harper's party, who called the police after seeing blood stains and becoming overwhelmed by the smell.

A hazardous-material unit was alerted, and when the package was opened a severed foot was found inside.

Police said the package was addressed to the Conservative Party of Canada and not to a specific person. Mr Harper's office is not located at the party headquarters.

Hours later, a second suspicious package was intercepted by Canada Post at a nearby mail sorting facility which contained the human hand.

The police have interviewed post office staff as well as morgues and hospitals in the area.

Immigration minister Jason Kenney told reporters that it was a "completely disgusting criminal act," which was "bizarre and horrifying".

Conservative parliament member Brad Trost said posting the foot was probably someone's "sick idea".

"I don't think any of us are thinking this necessarily has anything to with politics," he said.

How strange and macabre. Reminds me of something from Silence of the lambs.

They think it's a porn star who was in the news a few years ago for posting videos of himself killing cats named Luka Rocco Magnotta.

The police had finished their work inside and Apartment 208 was pretty much stripped bare, but the stomach-turning stench and darkened red stain on the mattress left little doubt that something terrible had happened here.

“The smell of death is not funny,” Eric Schorer, the building’s superintendent, said as he opened the door Wednesday afternoon. “If you look at the bed, that’s where it happened.”

Within hours, Montreal police would issue a wanted bulletin for the tenant of the one-room apartment, 29-year-old Luka Rocco Magnotta, sought for one of the most gruesome killings in Montreal in recent memory.

Not only was the unidentified victim dismembered, not only were two body parts apparently mailed to political parties in Ottawa, but it has emerged that the killer filmed his crime and posted it on the Internet. The snuff film titled 1 Lunatic 1 Ice Pick, depicting the dismemberment of an Asian male body and various indignities to the remains, has provoked online debate about its veracity since it was posted last week. Police have confirmed the video depicts the actual crime.

A janitor had stumbled on the victim’s torso Tuesday when investigating a foul smell coming from a suitcase thrown out in an alley behind an apartment in Montreal’s Snowdon neighbourhood. The same day, federal Conservative Party headquarters in Ottawa received a Canada Post parcel containing a human foot, and police discovered a second package containing a hand in an Ottawa postal station. That package was addressed to the Liberal Party of Canada.

Montreal police said in a statement that “concrete elements allow police to believe” that the Ottawa and Montreal incidents are connected, but pathology tests are being conducted for confirmation.

Mr. Magnotta, who has also been known as Eric Clinton Newman and Vladimir Romanov, has left abundant traces on the Internet. A Toronto native, he had worked in gay porn and as a model, but more recently he attracted attention after being linked to a 2010 online video showing kittens being suffocated with the aid of a vacuum cleaner.

from another article of the same source

The video, filmed in a dimly lit room, also shows the killer playing with his victim’s limbs and using one of them to masturbate. The attacker later performs a sex act on the dismembered, decapitated corpse. He also uses a knife and fork to slice a piece of fatty flesh from the victim’s rear, and then brings in a dog to eat the purported corpse.

At the end of the video, a photo is shown of a person dressed in a purple hooded jacket or sweater, leaning over while holding what appears to be an ice pick. His or her face is mostly obscured — the only details that can be made out are the individual’s light skin, dark hair of cheekbone length and a poster for the movie Casablanca on the wall.

How bizarre.

You can watch the video here: -removing link, we have kids on here-

Beware it is literally the most horrific video you can imagine.

how can people be this ****ed up :bored:

I think I will pass on that one thanks.

Omg! I can't believe that video was real! :o:o:o:o

Ew did you watch it?

I did! It was horrible! I couldn't believe what i was watching! :bawling::bawling:

Yeah, I think I'l watch some Balamory instead.

I think I would be ill. I don't understand why it's not been taken down actually.

I thought it was fake until i saw all the blood! :o

I also read that the suspect(Luka Magnotta) is supposedly married to or dated the infamous Canadian serial killer Karla Homolka.

Maybe he was in the closet? He's clearly insane! :o

Mental!

This world is crazy

Evil.

This is horrible :S

I removed your link lostalex. I get why you posted it as it is relevant to the story, bu I dont think its the kind of link that we want on here, especially with the age range of members.

I thought it was fake at the beginning! I've never seen anything like it! It's really shocking! :bawling:

I understand. I figured since it was okay to post links to the man who had his face eaten off the other day this would be fine too. But i agree children should definitely not watch it.

Omg! The thought of my nephews watching this scares me! I need to tell my sister to be careful! :o

Part of me wonders what will happen to this guy once he is caught. The Canadian justice system is notoriously lax.

There was a guy that beheaded a man on a bus in Canada a few years ago, and he was found not guilty by reason of insanity, and just recently he was allowed out of the mental facility and allowed to go on day trips.

Yeah that was very very borderline IMO. But it was a bit different to an actual video. I didnt watch this video but Im assuming it was a lot more graphic than the photos were.

First they need to find out if he's insane or just evil.

Oh dear, now that is a scary thought

Eugh thats horrific.
