The 11-minute video "1 Lunatic 1 Icepick" depicts a man, later identified as Jun Lin, being repeatedly stabbed with an icepick by Luka Magnotta, a former porn-star. The incident took place in an apartment in Montreal, Canada. Magnotta fled to Canada after uploading the video to Bestgore, sparking an international manhunt. He was finally apprehended at an internet cafe in Berlin and charged with one count of first-degree murder on December 23, 2014.

The video opens with Jun Lin, naked and tied to a bed frame, being repeatedly stabbed by Magnotta in the stomach. Magnotta then displays the body to the viewer, highlighting the wounds and the severed head with its throat slit. He proceeds to dismember the body, forcing a puppy to chew on the flesh, and performs sexual acts on the corpse, including masturbation and sodomy with a bottle. The video is set to the 1987 song "True Faith" and is believed to be inspired by the film "American Psycho", as Magnotta used the alias "Canadian Psycho". It may also reference the first murder-sex scene in "Basic Instinct", as Magnotta used the alias "Kirk Tramell" and the video's style is similar to the ice pick murder scene. Magnotta also used the name "Catherine Tramell" for his computer login.

==Trial==
Magnotta, through his lawyer, pleaded not guilty to all charges in court via video link on June 19, 2012. Two days later, he appeared in person at a high-security Montreal courtroom to request a trial by jury. Despite the defense team's request to bar the media and public from the preliminary hearing which began on March 11, 2013, it was declined, and expert witnesses testified. Diran Lin, Jun Lin's father, attended the hearing after traveling from China. However, on March 13, one of Magnotta's lawyers resigned due to a possible conflict of interest. Both Magnotta and Diran Lin physically collapsed at separate times during the proceedings. The prosecution presented video evidence, and on April 12, 2013, Magnotta was indicted on charges of first-degree murder, offering indignities to a human body, distributing obscene materials, using the postal service to distribute obscene materials, and criminal harassment. Despite pleading not guilty to the charges, Magnotta admitted to the underlying acts and claimed diminished responsibility due to mental disorders. He elected to be tried by judge and jury, with Quebec Superior Court Justice Guy Cournoyer presiding over the 10-week trial.
The Crown Attorney's opening statement was made on September 29, 2014, with jurors instructed to determine whether Magnotta committed the offenses with the required state of mind. Ballistics expert Gilbert Desjardins analyzed six tools recovered outside Magnotta's apartment and concluded that none could be definitively linked to the killing. During the trial, the Crown prosecutor argued that the murder was organized and premeditated, and that Magnotta was purposeful and ultimately responsible for his actions, while the defense attorney argued that Magnotta was in a psychotic state and could not be held responsible.
