A porn actor dubbed the ‘Canadian Psycho’ for allegedly killing and chopping up another man told a Berlin judge yesterday he would not challenge his extradition from Germany.

The case came to light after body parts were mailed to political party offices in Ottawa

“He has been before the judge, who has confirmed the arrest,” a spokesman for the Berlin public prosecutor’s office told AFP, the day after Luka Rocco Magnotta’s capture in the German capital following a days-long global manhunt.

“He said he would not fight the extradition.”

Magnotta, 29, was arrested on Monday at a Berlin internet cafe on suspicion he murdered a 33-year-old Chinese student in Canada last month with an ice-pick and hacked apart his body while filming the grisly killing.

The case came to light after body parts were mailed to political party offices in Ottawa, triggering an international hunt that started in Montreal and shifted to Paris before ending in Berlin.

German authorities have asked Canada to provide the necessary documents for Magnotta’s extradition. As soon as they arrive, a judge will rule on sending Magnotta back to Canada, Steltner said ahead of the hearing, adding that the procedure normally took several days.

“We will see what the extradition process will bring,” he said later, adding that it “will be easier and will be faster” now that Magnotta has said he would not fight it.

German police faced littleresistance when they picked the suspect up in Neukoelln, a working-class district of the capital, after a witness tip-off. He said simply, “You got me,” a police spokesman said.

A video from the cafe’s security camera circulating on German media showed police leading asuspect wearing sunglasses and a dark hooded jacket with his hands handcuffed behind his back out of the cafe.

Before the hearing, Steltner said there was no evidence the suspect had committed any crime in Germany and that investigators did not know exactly what he was doing in Berlin following his arrival on Friday by bus from Paris.

Initial reports said thevictim, Lin Jun, was Magnotta’s lover, but Chinese mediareports yesterday quoted Lin’s friends as saying they were not in a relationship.

Magnotta, dubbed the ‘Butcher of Montreal’ and the ‘Canadian Psycho’, has been wanted since last week when Lin’s severed hand and foot were sent by mail to Conservative and Liberal party offices.

Lin’s torso was found in a suitcase left for garbage collection outside Magnotta’s Montreal apartment.

Montreal police said Monday that Magnotta may be responsible for other unsolved crimes.
