Why was lin jun killed

He was also sentenced to 19 years on four lesser charges, to be served concurrently. Lin's family said nothing throughout the trial, acknowledging that they did not want to interfere in proceedings. But shortly after the verdict was read, his family broke its silence through the victim impact statement. It told of a smart, studious young man who was the pride of his family — an adventurous soul who was eager to start a new life half a world away from home to study computer engineering at Concordia University.

His mother, his sister and me, his friends, Lin Feng. In one night, we lost a lifetime of hope, our futures, parts of our past. She has too much responsibilities now for someone so young.

I hope one day she is better. The father told the court about the heartbreak and dashed hope of a life and a future that will never be. He said his son will never be there to take care of him in his old age or celebrate another birthday. Before his slaying, Lin had reportedly consented to having their sexual acts filmed. Six days earlier, Magnotta had a similar encounter with an unidentified man but, with Lin, "something just happened in my brain.

Once Lin's body was dismembered, Magnotta said he kept hearing voices telling him to "give it back to the government. Various parts of Lin's body were then sent in packages to political offices in Ottawa.

Magnotta said he considered sending Lin's torso, but could not figure out how. Asked why body parts were mailed to two Vancouver schools, Magnotta told Allard he'd discussed the western Canadian city with Lin. He hardly slept after Lin's slaying but did remember eating a pizza at one point. The obsession with government and spying was present when his schizophrenia was initially diagnosed. Allard said Magnotta told her that anti-psychotic medications helped ease the paranoia but that he didn't take them all the time.

The fear of being spied on led to frequent address changes, multiple online profiles, the use of a wig and various changes of cellphone numbers. Allard said he changed his name to Magnotta in part out of that same fear but also because he wanted to get away from his family. He chose the surname either for a video game character or a popular winery in Ontario's Niagara region. While Magnotta didn't think he was currently being spied on, "he's convinced it happened in his past," she said.

In earlier testimony, Allard said Magnotta told her that an email he sent a British tabloid foretelling the murder of a human being was meant only as a threat to a journalist who'd ambushed him. The Crown contends the communication to the London Sun suggests Magnotta was planning a slaying up to six months in advance of Lin's killing. But, it was very real.

The true crime documentary shows the real life cat and mouse game between cyber sleuths and a man named Luka Magnotta , who started off his horrific crime spree by posting a video of him killing two kittens. Soon enough, the animal torturer graduated to killing a human being. That clip showed Magnotta stabbing Lin to death with a screwdriver modified to look like an ice pick before defiling his body and even beheading him.

The horrific video then went viral. His torso was sent to an apartment complex in Montreal. One of his feet arrived at the Conservative Party headquarters in Ottawa while one of his hands was sent to the Liberal Party but was intercepted by the Canada Post, according to Toronto outlet CityNews. Magnotta used the address of Logan Valentini — sister of infamous Canadian serial killer Karla Homolka — to mail one package to a Vancouver school. After murdering Lin, Magnotta fled the country, but he was eventually caught.

At least one of the cyber sleuths in the new docu-series pointed out that Magnotta wanted attention.
