More body parts sent to Canada schools

Police were investigating a new twist in the grisly "Canadian Psycho" murder case after new body parts sent from Montreal turned up at Vancouver schools, as the suspect awaits extradition from Germany.

Authorities were still trying to determine if the human hand and foot discovered in separate packages at the two schools on Tuesday were indeed those of the killer's victim, 33-year-old Chinese student Lin Jun.

Luka Rocco Magnotta, a 29-year-old Canadian porn actor, was arrested Monday in Berlin after a week-long international manhunt and is awaiting extradition to Canada for murdering Lin, believed at one point to have been his lover.

Magnotta allegedly filmed himself on the night of May 24-25 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, a seemingly cavalier 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.
