On May 24, 2012, Jun Lin was last seen and his friends received a text message from his phone at 9 pm. When he failed to show up for his shift the next day, his boss became suspicious, and three of his friends entered his apartment on May 27, prompting a report to the police on May 29 about his disappearance. The last known footage of Lin was captured on May 24, 2012, on a surveillance camera showing him entering the Montreal apartment building where Luka Magnotta lived. Magnotta, who had met Lin the night before at a metro station after Lin responded to Magnotta's Craigslist ad for kinky sex and bondage, was later seen on the same surveillance footage exiting the building wearing Lin's shirt. Magnotta disposed of the evidence and booked a round-trip plane ticket to Paris, scheduled to leave the following evening, with Lin's torso in his suitcase. The murder of Jun Lin by Luka Magnotta took place in Montreal, Canada. The video on [[Bestgore]] was reported to authorities by an attorney from Montana on May 26, 2012, but his report was dismissed by officials from Toronto Police, his local Sheriff, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. ''Bestgore'' viewers also tried to report the video. The police later confirmed the video as authentic and identified the victim as an Asian male, who was the same person whose body parts were sent to Ottawa.

On May 25, 2012, Mike Nadeau, a janitor, found a locked suitcase in the garbage containing Lin's limbless and headless corpse. A few days later, the torso was also found inside the same suitcase. After confirming that the body parts belonged to Jun Lin, the police found some of the items used in the murder piled in black plastic bags in the trash. Further, the police discovered additional body parts, a dead black puppy seen in the video, a Casablanca poster, a wine bottle, and other miscellaneous items wrapped in several garbage bags. Bloodstains were found on the bed, refrigerator, floor, and bathroom sink, indicating that Magnotta had attempted to hide the body and materials in various places. The apartment had been mostly emptied before Magnotta left, and "If you don't like the reflection. Don't look in the mirror. I don't care" was written in red ink inside a closet. On May 30, 2012, the police confirmed that the body parts belonged to Jun Lin, and Magnotta was identified as the suspect who had fled the scene.

During May 2012, several packages containing body parts were sent to political party headquarters in [[wikipedia:Ottawa, Canada|''Ottawa, Canada'']]. The [[wikipedia:Conservative Party of Canada|''Conservative Party of Canada'']] received a blood-stained package with a left foot on May 29, 2012, while the [[wikipedia:Liberal Party of Canada|''Liberal Party'']] received a package with a left hand a few hours later. The police later confirmed that two more packages containing a right hand and right foot were distributed to two separate schools. The fourth package, sent to the Conservative Party headquarters, contained a left foot and a note indicating that all six body parts had been sent and that the perpetrator would kill again. On July 1, the head was discovered in a small area of Angrignon Park, a few blocks away from Magnotta's apartment.

After killing Lin, Magnotta used his real name to book a round-trip ticket from Montreal to Paris, but he then booked another round-trip ticket to Paris on May 25, before the red notice was issued. He stayed in a hotel in Bagnolet, where police later found pornographic magazines and an air-sickness bag. Despite using a false passport with the name "Kirk Trammel", Magnotta had contacts in Paris from a previous visit in 2010. Police followed a large-framed man who had been in contact with Magnotta, and another man he stayed with for two nights didn't realize who he was until after he had left. Magnotta then took a Eurolines bus to Berlin, Germany, after which he was apprehended by Berlin Police on June 4, 2012, at an internet café in the Neukölln district. Initially, Magnotta gave fake names, but he later confessed his true identity, which was confirmed through fingerprint evidence. The next day, he appeared in a Berlin court and did not oppose his extradition due to sufficient evidence against him. He was kept in custody until extradition and agreed to a simplified process. On June 18, 2012, he was handed over to Canadian authorities in Berlin and flown to [[wikipedia:Montréal–Mirabel International Airport|Mirabel International Airport]] on a Royal Canadian Air Force CC-150 Polaris due to safety concerns and potential legal difficulties. Magnotta was then placed in solitary confinement at the Rivière-des-Prairies detention centre.
