Anlayisli,the cafe owner,said he had read about Magnotta and recognised his face. He then stepped out of the cafe,stopped a passing police van and told them, I have someone here you might be looking for.
I have a good memory for faces, he said,pointing out to reporters the narrow internet booth with high imitation-wood divides in the cafe's dark interior where Magnotta sat.
Magnotta is now being held at a Berlin police station.Interpol red notices require that the suspect be held under arrest pending extradition.
The cafe is on Neukoelln's Karl Marx Strasse,a busy shopping street running through the multi-cultural south-Berlin district,which is home to Turkish and Lebanese cafes.
