Luka Rocco Magnotta is a Canadian former pornographic actor and model who killed and dismembered Lin Jun, a Chinese international student, then mailed his limbs to elementary schools and federal political party offices. This act gained international notoriety. After a video depicting the murder was posted online, Magnotta fled Canada, becoming the subject of an Interpol Red Notice and prompting an international manhunt. He was apprehended at an Internet café in Berlin while reading news about himself in June 2012. After eight days of deliberations, a jury convicted him of first-degree murder on December 23, 2014.

Murder of Lin Jun

Lin Jun was an international student from Wuhan and an undergraduate in the engineering and computer science faculty at Concordia University He worked part-time as a convenience store clerk in Pointe-Saint-Charles. Lin had been studying in Montreal since July 2011. Lin moved into a Griffintown-area apartment with a roommate on May 1. He was last seen on May 24, 2012 and his friends reported getting a text message from his phone at 9 PM. His boss became suspicious when he didn't show up for his shift the next day. Three of his friends went into his apartment on May 27. He was reported missing to police on May 29.

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.The perpetrator uses a knife and fork to cut off some of the flesh and gets a dog to chew on the body. During the video, the 1987 New Order song "True Faith" plays in the background, and a poster for the 1942 film Casablanca is visible on the wall. Canadian authorities obtained a "more extensive" version of the video and said cannibalism may have been performed. Materials promoting the video appeared online 10 days before the murder took place.
