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. | The video opens with Jun Lin, naked and tied to a bed frame, being repeatedly stabbed by Magnotta in the stomach.

Luka Rocco Magnotta, also known as Eric Clinton Kirk Newman at birth, was born on July 24, 1982, in Scarborough, Ontario. He was the eldest of Anna Yourkin and Donald Newman's three children. Magnotta's upbringing was fraught with challenges, as his mother was notoriously obsessive about cleanliness and would frequently subject both her children and pets to harsh conditions. His father was diagnosed with schizophrenia in 1994, and this eventually led to his parents' divorce. Following this, Magnotta moved in with his grandmother, Phyllis. He attended I. E. Weldon Secondary School in Lindsay, but was later diagnosed with schizophrenia and was granted a disability allowance, which he supplemented with prostitution. In 2003, he began to work as a stripper and appeared in a handful of gay pornographic videos over a period of five years. Magnotta legally changed his name to Luka Rocco Magnotta on August 12, 2006. However, he faced financial difficulties and declared bankruptcy in March 2007, with debts totaling $17,000, which were eventually fully discharged in December of that same year. | Luka Rocco Magnotta, also known as Eric Clinton Kirk Newman at birth, was born on July 24, 1982, in Scarborough, Ontario.

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. | 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.
