Human remains sent to schools in Canada

http://www.cnn.com/2012/06/05/world/americas/canada-body-parts-investigation/index.html?hpt=wo_c2

Luke Magnotta, a 29 year old Canadian man is suspected of killing and dismembering the body of Jun Lin, a college student from China.  Magnotta is accused of mailing body parts to politicians.  Political offices have recently discovered a hand a and a foot in packages mailed to them.  DNA tests have confirmed that both of these belonged to Jun Lin.  Magnotta is currently living overseas in Berlin and would be returned to Canada for trial.

I chose this article because of the recent trend we seem to be having about cannibalism/dismemberment stories being picked up by the media.  Sure enough, this one is just as messed up as any of them.  I wouldn't say I enjoy this article, given the subject matter, but do think that it's fairly well written.
