Suspect name given out in trashbag torso killing
The police have named the suspect in the Snowdon trashbag torso killing; the Journal says the suspect is a porn actor.
The hand and foot found in Ottawa have also been linked with the torso discovery in Montreal.
(This was on RDI when I stopped earlier for a bowl of noodles at a Vietnamese resto in the ‘hood. “Appetissant!” we agreed.)
Update: Weirder and weirder, the suspect is said to have dated Karla Homolka although the CBC investigation only contains a quote from him saying he’d never even met her. And the suspect tweeted (mostly a lot of banal quotations).

This story is definitely future Coolopolis material.

I was thinking that.
It’s not that long since we saw a case with some similarities. In January 2010 some body parts were found in a suitcase on rue Charlotte, and it turned out to be the murder of a man by his estranged gay lover, if I recall correctly. I had some links to it at the time, but they’ve all lapsed.
The victim in that case happened to be Israeli – here’s a link from Haaretz.

It’s a real problem trying to get rid of a body in the city when you don’t have access to a good wood chipper.

Don’t need a wood chipper. It won’t work with a human body. Just work up some elbow grease and use and axe.
If you are lazy, use a chainsaw… :P
