Luka Magnotta, 30, has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder in the gruesome slaying and dismemberment of Jun Lin last May. As well as first-degree murder, Magnotta is also facing four other charges relating to the case. He is accused of dismembering Lin, having sex with the dismembered corps, and mailing to schools and political parties parts of his body across Canada, Lin's hands and feet were mailed in May to the offices of political parties in Ottawa and to schools in Vancouver, before leading police on an international manhunt . On May 25, 2012, an 11-minute video titled 1 Lunatic 1 Ice Pick was uploaded to Bestgore.com depicting a naked male tied to a bed frame being repeatedly stabbed with an ice pick and a kitchen knife, then dismembered, followed by acts of necrophilia.[26][27] The perpetrator uses a knife and fork to cut off some of the flesh and gets a dog to chew on the body.[26][28] During the video, the 1987 New Order song "True Faith" plays in the background,[26] and a poster for the 1942 film Casablanca is visible on the wall.[29] Canadian authorities were able to obtain a "more extensive" version of the video and confirmed that cannibalism may have been performed.[6][30] Materials promoting the video appeared online at least 10 days before the murder took place.

His torso was found in a pile of garbage behind Magnotta's Montreal apartment, and his head was discovered in a Montreal park in July. Magnotta flew from Montreal to Paris on May 26, using a false passport under the name Kirk Trammel. His cell phone signal was traced to a hotel in Bagnolet, but he had left by the time police arrived. Pornographic magazines and an air-sickness bag were found in the hotel room. He had contacts in Paris from a previous visit in 2010, and police were following a large-framed man who had been in contact with Magnotta. Another man he stayed with for two nights did not realize who he was until he had left. Magnotta then boarded a Eurolines bus at the Bagnolet coach station bound for Berlin, Germany. He was finally arrested in Germany.

In his previous life, He was  sought by animal rights groups for allegedly uploading videos of himself killing kittens. Many profiles on various internet social media and discussion forums were created over several years to plant false or unverified claims about Magnotta. Magnotta himself repeatedly dismissed such accounts as hoaxes and part of a campaign of cyber stalking against him. According to police, Magnotta set up at least 70 Facebook pages and 20 websites under different names. Also, rumours claimed that Magnotta was in a relationship with Karla Homolka, a high-profile Canadian murderer.
