1 Lunatic 1 Ice Pick: Difference between revisions

The 11-minute [[shock 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.
