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, AFP reported.

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.

The victim's torso, which has also been 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.

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 two schools there, in the far west of the country, were similar to those on the parcels discovered at the political offices in eastern Canada.

Montreal police spokesman Ian Lafreniere told reporters that a note was included with one package sent to a Vancouver school, as well as one of the packages delivered to Ottawa, but did not discuss the contents of the notes.

After a warrant was issued for Magnotta's arrest, local media reported that a note sent with a severed foot to Conservative Party headquarters indicated that more body parts had been sent in the mail, and that the person who dismembered the victim would kill again.

Magnotta, who fled Canada on May 26, initially to Paris, was picked up on Monday on an Interpol warrant by German police in an Internet cafe in Neukoelln, a working-class district of Berlin.
