Pornstar's victim's family moved by support

Published

The family of a Chinese student who was killed and dismembered in Canada say they are deeply troubled by his death but have been deeply moved by the outpouring of sympathy and charity.

Jun Lin's family arrived in Montreal last week. The family said in a statement made public late Monday that "the appalling catastrophe" has dealt a "disastrous blow" to the family.

The gruesome death of Lin, whose body parts first turned up in parcels mailed to Canada's two main political parties in Ottawa, launched an international manhunt for his lover, porn actor Luka Rocco Magnotta.

Investigators suspect Magnotta, 29, of killing Lin and posting a video online showing him eating parts of the victim's body. Magnotta was caught at an Internet cafe in Berlin last week and is facing extradition.
