Montreal police and the Los Angeles detectives are examining a possible connection between Luka Magnotta and the murder of a 66-year-old man near the famous Hollywood sign in January.
Montreal police Cmdr. Ian Lafreniere confirmed Thursday that the LAPD is probing possible links between Magnotta and the murder of Hervey Medellin, a gay former flight attendant.
A woman walking her dog on a hilltop trail near the Hollywood sign on Jan. 17 found Medellin's head.
A police search of the area the following day turned up the victim's hands and feet. Detectives have been unable to find a suspect and the rest of Medellin's body has not been found.
Lafreniere says his officers are working with the LAPD to see if there's a connection with the murder of Magnotta's ex-lover Jun Lin, who was killed and dismembered last month in Magnotta's Montreal apartment.
"We heard about (the Medellin case)," Lafreniere told QMI Agency. "Of course we will take a look on our side and track all of (Magnotta's) movements."
Lafreniere said Magnotta was in Los Angeles at the time of Medellin's murder.

It also says that weeks after the discovery of Medellin’s body parts, Magnotta advertised his services on Facebook as an L.A.-based masseuse.
