Man Who Chopped Up Ex-Girlfriend and Her Fiance Stands Trial

ALLEN PARK, Mich. — A suburban Detroit man accused of fatally shooting his ex-girlfriend and her fiance then chopping off their heads and limbs and dumping their remains into the Detroit River must stand trial, a judge ruled Wednesday.

Allen Park District Court Judge John Courtright said at a preliminary examination that there is enough evidence to try Roger Bowling, 39, in the murder of 32-year-old Danielle Greenway and 42-year-old Chris Hall.

Border Patrol agents and the U.S. Coast Guard found the bodies of Greenaway and Hall floating in the Detroit River and an adjoining canal July 17. The same morning, a man fishing in the river on Detroit’s east side spotted legs, a saw and a suitcase submerged in about 10 feet of water along a seawall. The couple had last been seen three days earlier.
Bowling, who was arrested July 19, had once been in a relationship with Greenaway and had been living with her and Hall at their home in Allen Park just west of Detroit for about a month before the killings.
Investigators, who determined the couple had been shot to death and dismembered in their home, found bullet holes and blood at the property. But efforts had been made to hide evidence of the slayings, assistant Wayne County prosecutor Raj Prasad said.

“There’s not blood everywhere,” Prasad said. “It’s not a house where there is forced entry or where there is blood and bullets. This is a cleaned up house. The only person who would want to clean up the house and hide the crime scene is the person who is still living there. Mr. Bowling is the only person who could have committed this crime.”

A yellow-handled circular saw found in the river with the dismembered legs matched other tools of the same brand found in the Allen Park home, Prasad told Courtright. Defense attorney Mark L. Brown said there was no evidence linking Bowling to the saw or the killings. “Mr. Bowling lived in the house. The tools were in the house,” Brown said. “That doesn’t make him the person who used them.”

Bowling will be arraigned Sept. 5 in Wayne County Circuit Court on murder and other charges.

Armed American Terrorists Plotted to Kill President Obama

‘Armed Militia’ of Soldiers Plotted to Take Over Army Base, Assassinate Obama

Four soldiers killed a former comrade and his girlfriend who they thought had betrayed their  anarchist militia group, a court heard today. 

Members of the group, who were charged with the murders in March, had stockpiled assault weapons and plotted to attack the government and assassinate the President, prosecutors told a judge ahead of their hearing on Thursday.

The secret organization was composed of active duty and former U.S. military members who spent at least $87,000 buying guns and bomb components and was serious enough to kill two people. Former soldier Michael Roark and his 17-year-old girlfriend, Tiffany York were executed in the woods  last December in order to keep its plans secret.

On trial: Sgt Anthony Peden (left) and Private Isaac Aguigui (right) are led away after appearing in court last December in Georgia. They are accused of murdering another soldier and his girlfriend to keep their militia's plans secret.

'This domestic terrorist organization did not simply plan and talk,' prosecutor Isabel Pauley told a superior court judge in rural Long County, near the sprawling Army post Fort Stewart, southeast Georgia.

'Prior to the murders in this case, the group took action. Evidence shows the group possessed the knowledge, means and motive to carry out their plans.'
One of the Fort Stewart soldiers charged in the case, Army Pfc. Michael Burnett, also gave testimony that backed up many of the assertions made by prosecutors.
The 26-year-old soldier pleaded guilty on Monday to manslaughter, illegal gang activity and other charges. He made a deal to cooperate with prosecutors in their case against three other soldiers.


Prosecutors said the group called itself F.E.A.R. - short for Forever Enduring Always Ready. Pauley said authorities don't know how many members the militia had.

Burnett, 26, said he knew the group's leaders from serving with them at Fort Stewart. He agreed to testify against fellow soldiers Pvt. Isaac Aguigui, identified by prosecutors as the militia's founder and leader, Sgt. Anthony Peden and Pvt. Christopher Salmon.

All are charged by state authorities with malice murder, felony murder, criminal gang activity, aggravated assault and using a firearm with committing a felony. A hearing for the three soldiers was scheduled for Thursday.

Prosecutors say Roark, 19, served with the four defendants in the 4th Brigade Combat Team of the Army's 3rd Infantry Division and became involved with the militia.

Pauley said the group believed it had been betrayed by Roark, who left the Army two days before he was killed, and decided the ex-soldier and his girlfriend needed to be silenced.

   
Victims: Michael Roark, 19, and Tiffany York, 17, were found shot in the

head near Fort Stewart in December

Burnett testified that on the night of December 4, he and the three other soldiers lured Roark and York to some woods a short distance from the Army post under the guise that they were going target shooting.

He said Peden shot Roark's girlfriend in the head while she was trying to get out of her car. Salmon, he said, made Roark get on his knees and shot him twice in the head. Burnett said Aguigui ordered the killings. 'A loose end is the way Isaac put it,' Burnett said. Aguigui's attorney, Daveniya Fisher, did not immediately return a phone call. Attorneys for Peden and Salmon both declined to comment on Monday.

Also charged in the killings is Salmon's wife, Heather Salmon. Her attorney, Charles Nester, did not immediately return a call seeking comment.

Pauley said Aguigui funded the militia using $500,000 in insurance and benefit payments from the death of his pregnant wife a year ago.
Aguigui was not charged in his wife's death, but Pauley told the judge her death was 'highly suspicious'. She said Aguigui used the money to buy $87,000 worth of semiautomatic assault rifles, other guns and bomb components that were recovered from the accused soldiers' homes and from a storage locker. He also used the insurance payments to buy land for his militia group in Washington state, Pauley said.

In a videotaped interview with military investigators, Pauley said, Aguigui called himself 'the nicest cold-blooded murderer you will ever meet'

Defendants: Private First Class Michael Burnett (right) is testifying against his colleagues including Private Christopher Salmon (left).

He used the Army to recruit militia members, who wore distinctive tattoos that resemble an anarchy symbol, she said. Prosecutors say they have no idea how many members belong to the group.

'All members of the group were on active-duty or were former members of the military,' Pauley said. 'He targeted soldiers who were in trouble or disillusioned.'

The prosecutor said the militia group had big plans. It plotted to take over Fort Stewart by seizing its ammunition control point and talked of bombing the Forsyth Park fountain in nearby Savannah, she said.

In Washington state, she added, the group plotted to bomb a dam and poison the state's apple crop. Ultimately, prosecutors said, the militia's goal was to overthrow the government and assassinate the president.The Army brought charges against the four accused soldiers in connection with the slayings of Roark and York in March, but has yet to act on them. Fort Stewart spokesman Kevin Larson said he could not comment immediately on the militia accusations that emerged in civilian court Monday.

District Attorney Tom Durden said his office has been sharing information with federal authorities, but no charges have been filed in federal court. Jim Durham, an assistant U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Georgia, would not comment on whether a case is pending.

Pervert Licking Childrens Feet In Public Library: Blames Black Man

Man arrested for approaching young girls in libraries and licking their feet claims he is being set up by Barack Obama

 Police in Rochester, New York, have arrested a man in connection with a series of incidents involving children at local libraries.
Police say 49-year-old Anthony Parri is a serial offender who has a fetish for fondling, smelling and licking children's feet.

Parri denies the charges, claiming instead that he is the victim of a conspiracy that involves state and federal governments, and President Barack Obama.

 

Proclaiming his innocence: Anthony Parri,
accused of sex abuse and endangering the welfare of a child,
says he is being set up

An employee at Penfield Library in Rochester claims to have seen Parri committing one of the offences on Tuesday - telling police that he approached a six-year-old girl, first removing her shoe and then fondling her foot and pressing it up against his nose and mouth.
The female employee told other staff and the police were called. Parri was arrested outside the library.
Investigators did not know about the second incident, which also involved a young girl at the library, until a concerned parent contacted them and said that her daughter had talked about the incident on the way home in the car.

Further cases: Police are now investigating whether there is a connection between the incidents at Penfield Library and five others in the Brighton/Pittsford area

Parri has been charged with two separate counts of sex abuse and endangering the welfare of a child, and police are now investigating whether he was involved in five similar reported incidents in nearby Brighton and Pittsford.

In each of the five incidents, a man approached girls between the ages of five and ten and licked their feet.
Parri claimed he was innocent of all charges as he arrived and left Penfield Justice Courts on Tuesday.
In a rambling message to waiting reporters, Parri called on all women and children of Rochester to come forward, claiming he had been set up and his case was a federal matter.
Leaving the court, Parri went further, alleging: 'I am being set up by the president, Barack Obama, and city and federal governments.'
According to ABC -13, police have said Parri is not the same man seen in a previously released surveillance photo in connection with the incidents. Investigators identified that man and have cleared him of any wrongdoing.

 

Black couple BANNED from marrying at white church

Black couple BANNED from marrying at white church after congregation complains

A couple were turned away from a church where they planned to marry just one day before the wedding because they are black, they have claimed. Charles and Te'Andrea Wilson, from Jackson, Mississippi, had already sent out invitations for their wedding at the predominantly white First Baptist Church in Crystal Springs.
But a day before their nuptials, Pastor Stan Weatherford told the couple some church members were opposed to the wedding, which would have been the first between a black couple at the church.

Refused: Charles and Te'Andrea Wilson were turned away from marrying in a predominantly white church after members of the congregation complained. Desperate to be accepted by whites, the couple spent most of the day crying about their rejection.

Instead, Weatherford performed the ceremony at another church.
'The church congregation had decided no black could be married at that church, and that if he went on to marry her, then they would vote him out the church,' Charles Wilson told WLBT TV.
His wife Te'Andrea added: 'People were pitching a fit about us being a black couple. I didn't like it at all because I wasn't brought up to be racist. I was brought up to love and care for everybody.' While the couple are not members of the church, Te'Andrea's father is, and her uncle is employed there. The couple attend the church regularly, they said.
Pastor Weatherford told WLBT TV he was surprised when a small number of church members told him they were opposed to the wedding taking place there.
'This had never been done before here, so it was setting a new precedent, and there are those who reacted to that because of that,' he said.

Wedding: Instead the couple was forced to marry at another church

Plans: The couple, who had already set the date and sent out invitations, were told they could not marry at the church just one day before their wedding

Explaining why he held the ceremony elsewhere, he added: 'I didn't want to have a controversy within the church, and I didn't want a controversy to affect the wedding of Charles and Te' Andrea.
'I wanted to make sure their wedding day was a special day.'But Charles Wilson said he believes the pastor, who he understands was in a difficult position, should have stood up for them.
He added: 'I blame the First Baptist Church of Crystal Springs, I blame those members who knew and call themselves Christians and didn't stand up.'
Church officials told WLBT they welcome people of any race and will conduct meetings on the issue.
'It's not reflective of the spirit of the Lord and Mississippi Baptists,' the Mississippi Baptist Convention executive director, the Rev. Jim Futral, said. 'It's just a step backward. ... It's a sad thing.'

Backing down: Pastor Weatherford said he moved the location of the wedding to avoid a controversy

Congregation members and local officials have said they are disgusted by the actions of some of the members of the church.'This is a small, small group of people who made a terrible decision,' Church member Casey Kitchens told The Clarion-Ledger.
'I'm just ashamed right now that my church would do that. I can't fathom why. How unfair. How unjust. It's just wrong.'
In the face of the reports, Mayor Sally Garland announced she will host a gathering in Crystal Springs on Monday to show that the city is united against racism.
'This is not a reflection of our city,' Garland said. 'We're not going to let this define us.'

GUNMEN-TERRORIST KILLS AND MAIMES AT MOVIE THEATER

Alleged gunman James Holmes entered a midnight showing of the Batman film "The Dark Knight Rises" and opened fire.

Young, white male terrorist, desperate for attention, acted out a scene from
new BATMAN movie, shooting dozens of moviegoers.



Law enforcement officials have identified James Holmes, 24, as the alleged gunman in Friday's shooting inside a movie theater in Aurora, Colo. during a midnight premiere of "The Dark Knight Rises."

Holmes, who lived in an apartment complex five miles from the theater, was taken into custody near his car behind the theater after the attack. The Washington Post reports that the shooter wore a gas mask and set of at least one gas canister before opening fire on the crowd. It is believed that he was armed with a shotgun, a rifle and two handguns.

At least 12 people are dead - 10 who died at the theater and two who where taken to a local hospital where they died as a result of their wounds. Dozens more are injured and some remain in critical condition. Authorities say the death toll could increase.

President Obama and former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney both expressed their condolences to the victims. Obama said on Friday that he was "shocked and saddened by the horrific and tragic shooting" and has canceled his scheduled campaign events.

Phone Left At Walmart Leads To Child Molesters

Pedophile and girlfriend charged 'after leaving cell phone with child porn' in Walmart shopping cart leading to discovery of 'molested' four-year-old girl

A sex offender and his girlfriend were arrested on Wednesday after a cell phone laden with child porn images was left in a Walmart shopping cart.

The phone allegedly belonged to Alan Robert Johnson, 33, convicted in 2003 of possessing and transporting child pornography, and his partner Jennifer Sparks, 37. The phone was found by a customer on June 2.

It contained pictures of naked boys and girls, said police, who are investigating a possible child porn operation that they believe may involve the parents of one of the girls, aged four.

CREEPY COUPLE: Alan Robert Johnson, a convicted in sex offender, and his girlfriend Jennifer Sparks were arrested after the cell phone was found

Registered in Sparks' name, the phone was left in a cart at the Walmart Neighbourhood Market on Pine Island Road in Cape Coral, Florida. Officers tracked down Johnson when they found an email address on the phone which led to him. They also found his Facebook page which displayed several of the same photos found on the cell.

At the couple’s North Fort Myers home, officers also found pictures and videos of the pair molesting and having oral sex with a four-year-old girl, news reported.  "They sexually abused her in every way imaginable," said Lee County Sheriff Mike Scott.
"In fact my most seasoned detectives here said that it's the worst they've ever seen.'

Scott described the pair as 'animals' and said he hoped the girl involved will be able to rebuild her life and move forward.

The girl has since been placed in the custody of the Department of Children and Families. A further investigation is underway into her parents, from Tampa, as police believe they may have intentionally left their daughter with the accused molesters and possibly even paid them.  The Sheriff’s Office said she stayed with the couple around six weeks before being transported to someone in Lakeland, where they suspect similar acts were carried out. Johnson and Sparks remain in Lee County Jail where they are being held without bail. Both face charges of sexual assault against a victim under 12, directing or promoting sexual performance by a child and possession of child pornography.

Homosexual Cannibal Porn Star On The Run After Hacking Chinese Student To Pieces And Mailing His Body Parts Out

The man believed to have been brutally slayed in a videotaped attack before his body parts were mailed to Canada's top political parties was his killer's gay lover, police have revealed.

Montreal Police Commander Ian Lafreniere identified the victim as 33-year-old Chinese student Jun Lin, who moved to Canada to study and had dated his suspected killer.Authorities are now hunting for alleged attacker, low-budget porn star Luka Rocco Magnotta, in France, where he is believed to be posing as a woman.

The international search comes just days after Lin's maggot-riddled torso
was found in a suitcase near to Magnotta's Montreal apartment block,
 and his hand and foot were mailed to two offices.

Magnotta had a weird taste for Chinese food.

 

Man hunt: Police are searching for Canadian porn star Luka Magnotta, top,
 after he allegedly hacked a man to death and posted his body parts to Canadian offices.
The victim has been identified as Jun Lin, above.

A senior French police official said he is sure Magnotta is in France and that Magnotta, who has previously expressed a love for the Eiffel Tower and Moulin Rouge, has been there in the past. Another French police official said Magnotta apparently flew to Paris from Montreal last weekend before the gruesome case emerged.


Lafreniere added that Jun Lin does not have family in Montreal. A family member reported him missing on Tuesday after he was last seen on May 24.
Authorities say the killing, which is believed to have been filmed in footage that later circulated the internet, took place on the night of May 24-25, and the suspect fled for Europe on May 26.

Victim: Jun Lin, 33, was a Chinese student who had moved to Montreal to study. He dated Magnotta

Sick: An image from a gruesome video of the killing, which has been blurred by MailOnline, shows the victim

Jun Lin was from the city of Wuhan and arrived in Montreal in July 2011.
'He is a Chinese citizen who studied at a university here in Montreal and was here for a certain time,' Lafreniere said. 'Thanks to the Chinese embassy, we have been able to reach the family with the sad news of what happened.'

Disguise: An artist's impression of what suspected killer Magnotta may look like as a woman

Police launched an investigation after a package containing a severed festering foot was opened at the ruling Conservative Party headquarters. Just hours later, a hand was discovered at a postal facility in a packaged addressed to the Liberal party of Canada.

A torso was found in a suitcase on a garbage dump in Montreal, outside Magnotta's apartment building, where he has not been seen since. Montreal police have said they believe the suspected killer fled for France based on evidence they found at his apartment and a blog he once wrote about how to disappear.

Lafreniere said: 'He left a letter on a website mentioning how to disappear for good, and secondly, our investigation brought us some details that might let us think that he could be away from the country.'

'What will hinder him the most is what he used to glorify himself, the web, with all the photos we have of him,' Lafreniere said. But he warned that Magnotta is 'someone who can disguise himself, he can change into a woman, wear a wig'.

France's fugitive search unit has been ordered to hunt for Magnotta, the French officials said but gave no details about his suspected whereabouts.
Lafreniere said Magnotta could be anywhere in Europe, and 'there's even been talk he might have returned to Canada under another identity', the Associated Press reported.

'Obsessed': Magnotta is believed to be on the run in France. He is said to be love the Eiffel Tour, pictured

A neighbour noted that the usually well-groomed Magnotta looked like he was 'a bad hair day' when he saw him on May 25.

'It was red, and he normally is dark,' building resident Derek MacKinnon said. 'It looked like a really bad wig.'

Police suspect Magnotta filmed the murder. A video posted online shows a man stabbing another man with an ice pick while the victim lies naked and tied up.
The first man later reveals he has slashed the other man's throat. He also dismembers the corpse and performs sexual acts with it. It is believed the man then eats some flesh with a knife and fork.
Interpol, the international police agency which is based in the French city of Lyon, has also issued a Red Notice search order for Magnotta's arrest.
It comes amid reports that Magnotta allegedly posted sick animal torture videos just months ago - before warning he'd be back 'but this time the victims won't be animals'.

'Killer': Magnotta is believed to have fled the country on May 26 after the killing on the night of May 24 - 25

Gruesome: It is believed Magnotta, a low-budget porn star, filmed himself beheading his victim

It has been claimed that he wrote a chilling email to one newspaper in London at the time saying: 'You will be hearing from me again. This time, however, the victims won’t be small animals.'
The animal cruelty video, which was posted on a site called Flix from an account registered in Islington, north London, showed a man in his 20s carrying a kitten called Jasmine into a bedroom in a Santa hat and then placing it on a bed.
Lurking half-hidden under a pillow lay a yellow Burmese python, which can grow up to 19ft long and is one of the largest snakes in the world.
Jasmine is seen slowly walking across the bed until the thug distracts her and she fatally turns her back on the danger. The snake pounces, wrapping the kitten in its coils as it squeezes the life out of the playful animal.

Pink lipstick: Magnotta has acted in low-budget gay porn films, as well as working as a stripper and model

Evil: Magnotta is also thought to have been behind this video which showed a kitten being fed to a python

The bait: The kitten is distracted and moments later the python pounces and wraps its coils around its prey

Once the kitten's tail stops moving the snake swallows her whole - head first. Its cries of agony are drowned out by the Christmas song Little Drummer Boy playing in the background of the video.

At the time, Magnotta was staying in a room above a pub in Wembley, where he was tracked down and quizzed by journalists. Magnotta at the time denied being behind the sick footage, and he even turned up at the offices of The Sun newspaper to complain that reporters there were harassing him.


But shortly after the paper received an email staff believed came from Magnotta telling of his love of London but saying he would 'have to say goodbye for now'.
The missive continued: 'But don't worry, in the near future you you will be hearing from me again. This time, however, the victims won’t be small animals. I will however, send you a copy of the new video I’m going to be making. You see, killing is different than smoking... with smoking you can actually quit.
'Once you kill, and taste blood, it’s impossible to stop.' The email was signed off with the name John Kilbride, one of the first child victims of Moors murderers Ian Brady and Myra Hindley.

The video shows the kitten disappearing in the python's mouth

Friendly: This video, posted online two years ago, shows a man who looks like Magnotta appearing to be caring for the cats (he disguised his face)

Sickening: The thug places both of the cats inside the bag

The reference to the Moors murderers offered a gruesome link between the kitten killing video and those dreadful crimes - Little Drummer Boy was the same track heard on a tape Brady made of the torture and murder of Lesley Ann Downey.

Police officers and animal rights campaigners believe Magnotta could also be behind a sickening video posted online where two further kittens are tortured and killed.

The animal-cruelty video, filmed two years ago, shows a man looking like Magnotta placing two kittens inside an airtight bag and using a vacuum cleaner to suck out the air.

In distressing scenes, the cleaner is then switched on and the air is slowly sucked out of the bag. The mewing kittens can be seen wriggling around and clawing to escape as the polythene tightens around them.
Commander Lafreniere also said officers have been trying to take down an online video that they believe shows Magnotta murdering a man he dated. The sickening snuff video footage, called '1 Lunatic 1 Ice Pick' and uploaded last week, shows a naked male tied to a bed frame being attacked with both an ice pick and a kitchen knife.

The Best Gore website says the film, which is unclear where or when it was filmed, then shows the victim being stabbed and having his throat slashed to the soundtrack of True Faith by New Order.

He is later decapitated, dismembered and sexually assaulted before his attacker uses a knife and fork to slice off and consume a piece of fatty flesh from his buttox.
It is believed the victim was already dead when the camera started rolling. The man in the video, whose face is never revealed, then goes on to play with the corpse's body parts for sexual gratification.

Commander Lafreniere said they were able to take down the video on Wednesday night but that it keeps reappearing online. 'It's horrible. I can't believe people take advantage of watching this,' he said.

The hunt for Magnotta began on Tuesday when Canadian police found a man's torso in a suitcase behind his Montreal apartment building and a severed foot was found in a package mailed to the Conservative Party headquarters in Ottawa. A hand was found in a separate package at a postal facility, addressed to the Liberal Party of Canada.

Investigation: An internal shot of Magnotta's one-room apartment, outside of which a maggot-ridden torso was found in a suitcase

Bathroom: More images have emerged from the apartment rented by Magnotta, who has gone on the ru

Suspected crime scene: These images of the bed inside Magnotta's apartment show a mattress stained with blood. It is thought the former stripper dismembered his lover on camera

Other body parts remain missing, and Lafreniere said police are investigating the possibility that they also may have been put in the mail.
Criminal profiler Pat Brown said the suspect clearly loves attention. 'He's not political, psychopaths rarely are, so he didn't send those parts for political reasons but to get a splash in the media,' Mr Brown said. 'He wants to go in history as being the creepiest guy out there.'

Police said Magnotta is also known by the aliases Eric Clinton Newman and Vladimir Romanov. They described him as white, 5ft 8in tall with blue eyes and black hair. A police official said he was a porn actor. His internet presence indicates he is a bisexual porn actor and model with a myriad of aliases.

Magnotta changed his name from Eric Clinton Kirkman in 2006, and online posts suggest he had a longtime fascination with identity change and escape. In a post on the Digital Journal website dated 2009 that police confirmed, a six-step article under Magnotta's name describes how to disappear.

'When making the decision to disappear, it is very important to understand that this is not a process that can be successfully accomplished overnight,' it reads.

'For best results under normal circumstances, a minimum of four months is really necessary to successfully carry out the heroic actions necessary to leave your old life behind.

'This is certainly not an undertaking to be entered into lightly - be completely sure of yourself before you commit to this.'

Police in masked combed through Magnotta's apartment in a working class Montreal neighbourhood in Wednesday. The four-floor, 57-unit building on Decarie Boulevard has apartments overlooking one of the city's busiest roads on one side. One of these is unit 208, the narrow, one-room apartment rented by Magnotta. Some tenants indicated that drug use is a common source of problems in the building.

Inside officers found blood-soaked sheets, what looked like a pool of blood in a refrigerator, and a message scrawled on a wall inside a wardrobe that said: 'If you don't like the reflection, don't look in the mirror. I don't care.' Mike Gauthier, who has lived in the building for three years, said Magnotta's apartment was emptied before he apparently vanished in recent days. There were no clothes and no books inside, he said.

Few tenants said they knew Magnotta, who had only lived in the building for around four months. They described him as an effeminate man who was quiet and aloof but pleasant at times. Eric Schorer, the building's manager, called him 'very anti-social.'
'He never really talked to anybody. He was always very cordial with me but very short, like, "Hi Eric, have a good day." That's it,' Mr Schorer said.

Hazardous material: A police officer carries a yellow bag with the bloody package that contains the festering foot mailed to Conservative Party headquarters on Tuesday

Desperate for publicity: Criminal profiler Pat Brown said that, even though the package was addressed to Conservative Party headquarters, the foot was not a political message

Jenni Bryne, a top political adviser to Canadian prime minister Stephen Harper, discovered the severed foot on Tuesday after she opened a bloodstained box at Conservative party headquarters. As she opened the package, a foul odour overcame the office. 'It was such a horrible odor. I'm sure many of us will not forget it,' Conservative Party spokesman Fred DeLorey said.

Police said the package was addressed to the Conservative Party of Canada and not to a specific person. According to reports, a note found with the foot claimed a total of six dismembered body parts had been posted, with the killer warning he would strike again. Magnotta has no criminal record, but, according to The Sun, a relative said: 'He hurt us when he was younger and we haven't been in contact with him for a while.'
