Montreal police found on Wednesday, a horrifying new twist in the gruesome “Canadian Psycho” murder case after new body parts turned up in the mail at two Vancouver schools, while the suspect awaits extradition from Germany.

Yesterday, authorities found a hand and foot but were  still trying to determine if the human hand and foot discovered in two separate packages on Tuesday were indeed those of the killer’s victim, 33-year-old Chinese student Lin Jun.

The victim’s torso, which was identified as belonging to Lin, was discovered in a suitcase outside Magnotta’s apartment building, but his head and his second – hand and foot were all unaccounted for before Tuesday.

The man wanted in the murder of Chinese student Lin Jun, Luka Rocco Magnotta, a 29-year-old Canadian porn actor, was arrested in Berlin on Monday after a week-long international manhunt and is awaiting extradition to Canada, is believed at one point to have been the lover of his victim.

Magnotta allegedly filmed himself on the night of May 24 into May 25 while killing Lin with a pick axe and dismembering the body before sending a foot and a hand to the headquarters of Canadian political parties, including Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s Conservatives.

A series of new videos from Magnotta – likely filmed after the murder – have appeared on the Internet and appear to be authentic, according to police.

In one, posted on YouTube, Magnotta is seen smoking and says, “What’s up and hi to all my fans,” while Madonna’s song ‘La Isla Bonita’ plays in the background.

Police called the initial video showing the murder “sordid” and said the crime scene – an apartment on Montreal’s busy Decarie Boulevard – was virtually covered in blood.

Montreal homicide investigators have taken over the Vancouver probe into whether the latest body parts belonged to Lin, who had been studying computer science at Concordia University in Montreal before his gory death.

Vancouver police said the packaging and addresses on the boxes sent to schools there, in the far west of the country, were similar to those on the parcels discovered at the political offices in eastern Canada.

Magnotta, who fled Canada on May 26, initially to Paris, was caught on Monday on an Interpol warrant by German police in an Internet cafe in Neukoelln, a working-class district of Berlin. He offered little resistance, saying simply: “You got me,” a German police spokesman said.
