Authorities have identified the victim of a brutal videotaped murder that was discovered after the victim's body parts were mailed to Canadian government offices by a suspected porn star who is the focus of an international manhunt, ABC News reported.

The victim was Chinese student Jun Lin, 33, who has been studying in Montreal since last July. He was last seen on May 24 and was reported missing to the Chinese Consulate on May 29, according to the Montreal Police Department.

On the same day, a human foot was discovered by a receptionist who received a blood-soaked package at the Ottawa headquarters of the Conservative Party of Canada. A second package containing a hand was seized at a post office in Ottawa later in the day.

Meanwhile, a janitor in Montreal found a male torso in a suitcase behind an apartment building in the Cote-des-Neiges neighborhood. Suspect Luka Rocco Magnotta, 29, was a resident of that building and Montreal police said that he was in a romantic relationship with Lin.

"We know that the suspect and the victim knew each other. It was not a random attack," Lafreniere said. "[Magnotta] knew the victim. They were having an affair."

Magnotta, 29, has been added to Interpol's wanted list, and Canadian authorities believe he may have left the country.

A senior French police official told the Associated Press he is sure Magnotta is in France and that Magnotta has traveled there in the past. Another French police official told the AP that Magnotta apparently flew to Paris from Montreal last weekend, before the case emerged.
