French police hunt 'Canadian Psycho' in Paris

[Swede]

Hopefully the noose is tightening on this guy.


Canadian media reported that Magnotta has been to Paris before, publishing photos showing him posing in front of the Eiffel Tower and the Moulin Rouge.

The suspect has been dubbed Canadian Psycho by the press because a video circulating online and believed to be linked to him shows a man stab another man with an ice pick and dismember him while a song from the film "American Psycho" plays in the background.

Interpol on Thursday issued a Red Notice wanted-persons alert for Magnotta, also known as Eric Clinton Newman and Vladimir Romanov, to its 190 member countries after a video of the grisly killing surfaced online.

The killing came to light when Canadian police said Tuesday that a human foot had been sent to the headquarters of Canada's ruling Conservative Party.

4. I'm pretty sure this guy isn't a 'regular' murderer. (nt)

6. huh? I'm no expert on murder, but this hardly seems "regular".

[HiPointDem]

9. it's not, that's the point. it's not just a guy murdering his lover if he's sending body parts

to pols.

11. What the hell is a "regular" murderer?

[HiPointDem]

12. a person who murders for the usual reasons - rage or personal gain -- & does everything they

can to hide evidence & not get caught.

[virgogal]

13. Thanks,I think.:-)

[HiPointDem]

15. i just think it's interesting that he's supposedly mailing body parts to pols, & can't help thinking

of the feet etc. that keep showing up in miscellaneous places in canada & wondering if there's a connection.
