Montreal: A probe is on and Montreal police is trying to establish if there is any link between remains (a human head) found in a city park to alleged killer Luka Rocco Magnotta.

Magnotta is accused of the murder and dismemberment of Concordia University student Jun Lin.Thirty-three-year-old Lin, who was originally from China, was studying computer science in Montreal. He has pleaded not guilty and has opted for a trial in front of a jury.

Lin's torso was discovered stuffed in a suitcase behind Magnotta's apartment building in late May. His hands and feet were mailed to political parties in Ottawa and two B.C. schools.

His head has still not been found.

Luka was arrested in Germany after an international manhunt ended with his capture at a Berlin Internet cafe.The amateur porn actor will face a preliminary hearing next March where part of the evidence against him will be heard.

Montreal's Major Crime Squad cordoned off parts of the Angrignon Park in the city's west end after the discovery was made following a tip on Sunday.The park is located only several kilometres from where Magnotta used to live.
