Luka Magnotta, Jun Lin, murder

The Luka Magnotta trial for the murder of Jun Lin continues, and the former pornography star admitted on the stand that he was almost caught by people in the area when he went to a Montreal Park in order to dispose of the head of Jun Lin. Luka Magnotta has entered an insanity defence, and he has admitted committing the murder and dismembering the body of Jun Lin among other crimes. The defendant says that he dumped the head of the victim because it was sending him messages, and a psychiatrist has diagnosed Magnotta as being a paranoid schizophrenic. Luka is hoping that the jury agrees and find shim not criminally responsible for the crime.

According to the confession that Luka Magnotta made about the murder of Jun Lin the victim had his throat slashed and then his body was dismembered. Magnotta admitted to having sex with the body parts and then sending the pieces across the country in the mail. Marie-Frederique Allard, the psychiatrist treating Luka Magnotta, made a record of the close call and then diagnosed the defendant with schizophrenia and determined he was not able to form criminal intent. Louis Bouthillier, the prosecutor on the case, believes that Luka Magnotta is criminally responsible for the murder of Jun Lin. Bouthillier questioned the psychiatrist, asking her “Why did he leave? Did he tell you why he left?” Allard responded “Because he went to bring the head to the park. He didn’t want to be seen.” The prosecutor then responded “Why didn’t he want to be seen? Because he knew it was wrong to walk around with a head?” Allard has also admitted that Luka Magnotta has repeatedly lied to psychiatrists, including herself.
