During May 2012, several packages containing body parts were sent to political party headquarters in [[wikipedia:Ottawa, Canada|''Ottawa, Canada'']].

The police later confirmed that two more packages containing a right hand and right foot were distributed to two separate schools. The fourth package, sent to the Conservative Party headquarters, contained a left foot and a note indicating that all six body parts had been sent and that the perpetrator would kill again. On July 1, the head was discovered in a small area of Angrignon Park, a few blocks away from Magnotta's apartment. | During May 2012, several packages containing body parts were sent to political party headquarters in [[wikipedia:Ottawa, Canada|''Ottawa, Canada'']].

After killing Lin, Magnotta used his real name to book a round-trip ticket from Montreal to Paris, but he then booked another round-trip ticket to Paris on May 25, before the red notice was issued. He stayed in a hotel in Bagnolet, where police later found pornographic magazines and an air-sickness bag. Despite using a false passport with the name "Kirk Trammel", Magnotta had contacts in Paris from a previous visit in 2010. Police followed a large-framed man who had been in contact with Magnotta, and another man he stayed with for two nights didn't realize who he was until after he had left. Magnotta then took a Eurolines bus to Berlin, Germany, after which he was apprehended by Berlin Police on June 4, 2012, at an internet café in the Neukölln district. Initially, Magnotta gave fake names, but he later confessed his true identity, which was confirmed through fingerprint evidence. The next day, he appeared in a Berlin court and did not oppose his extradition due to sufficient evidence against him. He was kept in custody until extradition and agreed to a simplified process. On June 18, 2012, he was handed over to Canadian authorities in Berlin and flown to Mirabel International Airport on a Royal Canadian Air Force CC-150 Polaris due to safety concerns and potential legal difficulties. Magnotta was then placed in solitary confinement at the Rivière-des-Prairies detention centre. | After killing Lin, Magnotta used his real name to book a round-trip ticket from Montreal to Paris, but he then booked another round-trip ticket to Paris on May 25, before the red notice was issued.
