Luka Rocco Magnotta, the man suspected of killing and dismembering Lin Jun, a student at Concordia University, landed at Mirabel airport under police escort around 00:00 GMT.

Held in Berlin since he was arrested on June 4, Magnotta chose not to fight his extradition back to Canada. With Montreal police arriving in the German capital over the weekend to complete the transfer, the suspect was loaded aboard a Royal Canadian Air Force jet on Monday morning.
