A public funeral for Jun Lin, the Chinese student who was slain and dismembered in Montreal, will be held Thursday morning in the city.

The funeral will be held at 9 a.m. at the Centre Funeraire Cote-Des-Neiges, Concordia University spokeswoman Clea Desjardins said Wednesday.

Lin's family, who came to Montreal from China shortly after his death, made the funeral arrangements.

The body of Lin, 33, a computer science student at Concordia University, was found in a suitcase outside a Montreal apartment in late May. A hand and foot of his were mailed to political parties in Ottawa, and his other hand and foot were sent to a school in Vancouver.

The grisly slaying made headlines across the globe as the hunt for Lin's alleged killer moved to Europe.

More than 200 people attended a public memorial for Lin in Montreal on Saturday.

Part-time porn actor and model Luka Rocco Magnotta, 29, faces several charges including first-degree murder and committing an indignity to a human body in Lin's death.

He was extradited from Germany back to Canada last month after an international manhunt. Magnotta will return to court for a preliminary hearing in March.
