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.

According to Reuters, Luka Magnotta spent six months planning the killing of Jun Lin, which was confirmed in an alleged email from Magnotta to a journalist. In a blog post titled "Necrophiliac Serial Killer Luka Magnotta" on March 3, Magnotta expressed his fetish for having sex with a mummified corpse of a young man. Magnotta also uploaded several videos to YouTube from April to May, including one where he held a screwdriver in front of a Casablanca poster while a 1987 New Order song played, alluding to the murder. Additionally, Magnotta created multiple fake accounts on various blog posts in an attempt to find out who the killer was, accompanied by an image. After posting an ad on Craigslist on May 24, 2012, Magnotta met with Jun Lin at the Decarie Boulevard in the late evening, under the pretense of filming a "personal film," which Lin volunteered for. Later that evening, Lin was murdered and decapitated in the room of Magnotta's apartment. Although some sources claim the video was first uploaded to another site called theYNC, it was uploaded to Bestgore that night. A few days later, an attorney from Montana alerted police about the video, but it was initially dismissed as fake. However, police were later alerted to Jun Lin's disappearance and received complaints from residents of Magnotta's apartment building about a foul smell. Eventually, the police found a suitcase containing several of Lin's body parts and were alerted to the video by citizens. | According to Reuters, Luka Magnotta spent six months planning the killing of Jun Lin, which was confirmed in an alleged email from Magnotta to a journalist.
