Luka Magnotta is a Canadian serial killer. He is best known for being convicted of dismembering Jun Lin, a 30-year-old Chinese international student, for the 1 Lunatic 1 Icepick video, which Magnotta planned 6 months in advance, as well as recording himself torturing kittens and uploading it to various sites prior.to that, he had started his career as a stripper at the gay club in Toronto known as "Remmington".
Early and personal life
Luka Magnotta was born Eric Clinton Kirk Newman on July 24, 1982, in Scarborough, where he was mostly raised. He was born to Anna Yourkin and Donald Newman as one of the eldest of three kids, including his brother Conrad and sister Melissa, all of whom were born in their father's basement. They had since moved into a home in Bethany, Ontario, where they lived and raised their children there. His father, who was diagnosed with schizophrenia in 2000, was a soap factory worker for Lever Brothers, and his mother had been obsessed with cleanliness and often wore surgical masks. They both met together when Yourkin was in 9th grade and Newman was in 10th grade. The family then had to move into the grandparents' home after their house was lost. His father was also arrested and fired from work for drinking while driving and recalled having his pet rabbit thrown outside in the winter by his mother to freeze to death as she "wanted total control over them." After the parents divorced when he was 6, his mother moved into a new home with a new boyfriend named Leo, who physically abused Magnotta. When Magnotta was asked if he was sexually abused in his childhood, he recalled that he engaged in inappropriate acts with his uncle, who was once arrested for molesting boys, but he couldn't remember how old he was at that time.
At age 16, Magnotta went to live with his grandmother, Phyllis, at her home. Phyllis had been "worried about him hearing things, speaking loudly, and feeling scared". Magnotta moved there because he was, of course, physically abused by Leo for most of the time at his mother's home. After his grandmother became concerned about him, he was taken to a psychiatrist in around 1999. Phyllis, whom Magnotta described as a mother figure, often dressed him in clothes, made him go everywhere with her, and slept with him when he was younger.
Magnotta was initially homeschooled by his mother along with his little brother Conrad, while their father was at work for support, until the grandparents insisted they be enrolled in school. At age 10 or 11, Magnotta entered in an unknown school at 6th grade. He mostly grew up there being heavily bullied by the other classmates, including Conrad, at that school. He was originally placed in special education classes when he first attended school due to his inability to do math and reading, as well as writing. His mother also wanted to attend, but was dismissed because the school thought she was "intrustive.". After graduating from elementary, Magnotta attended I.E. Weldon Secondary School, a high school from Lindsay, Ontario, where he gained self-confidence from hanging with students who behave badly. However, Magnotta had lower grades by the time he moved to regular schools and studied there for most of the time. He continued studying until Magnotta quit school because he was "not feeling well mentally." I had poor concentration. I was feeling sick and hearing things." Magnotta attended colleges and universities from there on.
Magnotta initially worked in a sandwich restaurant, but because of his complaints of his sandwich making, it only lasted 2 months of work.
Like his father, he was diagnosed with and suffered from schizophrenia in 2000.
Early career
In his early twenties, Magnotta began to work in the sex trade. From that moment on, he believed he was bisexual. While living in public housing, Magnotta felt motivated and sometimes had "financial difficulties". He also had to steal food sometimes, but was ashamed of it. Magnotta had been brought to blackboards by his social worker because he "couldn't make ends meet". Magnotta started on webcams where he showed himself undressing in front of the camera, but didn't continue as much because there were too many "crazy people".

He then started working as a stripper in the gay club "Remmington" in Toronto, but was initially afraid to go on stage. Magnotta also made a fellatio against the owner of the club and got drinks and a job in return. At the time, Magnotta didn't think he was good at it, and negatively likened himself to other strippers who were more muscular than him. He stopped working at the club after two months, because he was earning too much money and had to pay everyone there were in. Another stripper in the club suggested that he should start escorting because he felt uncomfortable with the drug addicts in the club, so he did and moved on.
1 Lunatic 1 Icepick & other shock videos

1 Lunatic 1 Icepick was originally planned by Magnotta 6 months ago to make a "movie out of it," which is the matter of luring someone into his apartment and killing them. Before that, Magnotta advertised this movie to various sites before that happened a few days ago. On June 24, 2012, Magnotta posted a Craigslist advertisement stating that he was looking for a male actor for a "personal movie," which the Chinese international student Jun Lin later responded to. The two met in person at the Décarie Boulevard apartment on the evening of May 24, 2012, where the incident happened from that point on. Shortly after, Magnotta posted the "movie" to the site Bestgore.com, entitled "1 Lunatic, 1 Icepick". The video depicts Luka Magnotta stabbing Jun Lin with an "icepick" [note 1] several times before showing the close-up of his corpse. The rest of the video consists of Magnotta preforming necrophilia acts on the corpse, sodomizing the asshole with a wine bottle, bringing some black puppies to eat the flesh of the corpse, and stabbing it again. Things presented in the video, such as the Casablanca, the "icepick", the black puppy, and the wine bottle, were also found piled in the trash at the apartment. Magnotta also mailed most of his limbs to various headquarters in Canada, with his leg left inside the suitcase that was outside of the apartment, which was soon found by a janitor.
Prior to killing Jun Lin as a mess-up form of achieving fame, Magnotta had become known for torturing kittens and uploading them to various sites, including Python vs Kitten and bath Time lol. One of the most popular was the 1 Boy 2 Kittens video, which showed Magnotta petting two kittens in a bed (similar to the bed in the Phyton vs. Kitten video) before putting them in plastic bags and vacuuming the air out of them .There were a few photos of Magnotta that circulated on the internet, such as one depicting Magnotta having sex with one of the kittens or the kittens in the freezer.
