    Richmond, VA—ROC pastor Geronimo Aguilar, who surrendered himself Tuesday on charges of aggravated sexual assault of a minor, is expected to be extradited to Texas
    ROC pastor Geronimo Aguilar, who surrendered himself Tuesday on charges of aggravated sexual assault of a minor, has left Richmond, Virginia and is in the custody of Texas authorities.

Berlin, Germany—A man accused of filming a person being killed and sending the victim's mutilated body parts to Canadian political officials last week has been arrested without incident, reports the Associated Press.

The man, 29-year-old Luka Rocco Magnotta, worked as a pornography film actor before the incident, and was dating the man he allegedly murdered in an online video. Police say the video shows a man they believe to be Magnotta repeatedly stabbing another man with an ice pick, before performing sexual acts with the dismembered corpse. Police believe the victim in the video is 33-year-old Jun Lin, a Chinese university student Magnotta previously dated.

Magnotta was apprehended at a Berlin café, after being identified by an employee there. Magnotta is currently being held and questioned, while waiting for his international arrest warrant to be read to him by a judge. While it could take several days for Manotta to be extradited to Canada, police say he could be returned by week's end. Magnotta will face a first-degree murder charge, among others.
