Police are keeping some details to themselves but here's what they did say:
- victim and suspect did know each other
- Although it's not 100% confirmed (waiting for DNA test), the police are fairly certain the victim is Jun Lin, 33, who was studying at Concordia University.
- suspect flew out of Montreal on May 26. They can't say where he ended up, he may have returned to Canada with another ID. He often uses disguises and wigs.
