The kind of stuffs we read online thesedays are becoming quite scary,imagine in this mordern world people still eat people?
The trial of the so-called ‘Canadian cannibal’ accused of dismembering and eating his lover in 2012 got under way Monday with the prosecutor alleging the crime was planned six months in advance.
Quebec Superior Court Justice Guy Cournoyer told a jury Luka Magnotta, 32, admitted this morning to the acts underlying the five charges against him, including killing engineering student Jun Lin, 33, in Montreal, but he also pleaded not guilty to each charge.
Wearing a grey sweater, dark pants and dark-rimmed glasses, Magnotta stood behind a metal-and-glass enclosure in court this morning.
The presiding judge said the jury will have to decide whether the acts were committed ‘with the required state of mind for each offense’ or, in other words, whether Magnotta was of sound mind.
Magnotta is accused of posting a video online that showed him stabbing and having sex with Lin's dismembered corpse, including eating some of the body parts while mailing others to political parties and schools.
His defense is expected to claim that he was insane as it fights a murder charge and four others: committing an indignity to a body; publishing obscene material; criminally harassing Prime Minister Stephen Harper and other members of Parliament; and mailing obscene and indecent material.
Defense attorney Luc Leclair told the court Magnotta is a diagnosed schizophrenic.
