A state prosecutor's office says police are investigating two claimed sightings in the French capital of a Canadian porn actor wanted in connection with the grisly murder of a Chinese student in Montreal.

Luka Rocco Magnotta is wanted by authorities in Canada on first-degree murder and other charges. He is suspected of killing a man he dated, videoing the attack, and then mailing his dismembered body parts. Interpol has placed Magnotta on the equivalent of its most-wanted list.

An official in the Paris office said Sunday that police were looking into the alleged sightings in northwest Paris. Police believe the 29-year-old fled to France on May 26th. Police have identified the victim as 33-year-old Chinese university student Lin Jun.
