Some of the material added is intriguing, but a lot of it would fail WP:OR and WP:BLP. The claim made about the skull and why it was not found until a month later is interesting, but would obviously contradict what has appeared in the mainstream media, which says that it was found on July 5 after an anonymous tip-off. The claim about the mobile phone is also interesting. If French police knew the number of the phone, Magnotta could have been traced and arrested with minutes when it was switched on and connected to the network. This is how Igor Suprunyuck and Viktor Sayenko got caught in the Dnepropetrovsk maniacs case. According to this story, Magnotta's cell phone was traced to a hotel in Bagnolet, but he had gone by the time police arrived. As for the claim that a person with the initials BS is involved, this needs extraordinary care as it would be WP:LIBEL if untrue. I also agree that the claims about the animal cruelty videos are speculative, as are the the mutilation cases in Los Angeles, Miami, and New York.
If you have genuine inside information about the case, you may be interviewed by the police and asked to appear as a witness at the trial, and it would be wrong for Wikipedia to interfere with this. If you are a blogger or journalist researching alternative theories about the case, Wikipedia cannot get involved either, because it can include only material from mainstream media sources (see WP:SPS). Every famous criminal case has its fair share of alternative and wildly contradictory theories (think Jack the Ripper) but since no trial has taken place yet in the Lin Jun case, it would be wrong to speculate until the evidence is tested in open court.--♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 16:55, 2 September 2013 (UTC)
