Where is the cat killer from Netflix's new doc now? (2024)

Jun, a 33-year-old student studying at Concordia University at the time, was stabbed multiple times in the chest, before his body was dismembered.

A janitor later discovered Lin Jun's decomposing torso in a rubbish bin close to the apartment block where he was killed, and notified police.

Upon investigation, authorities in Canada found more human remains, as well as documents which identified the killer.

Now, Netflix has released a new, three-part documentary entitled Don't F**k With Cats, which depicts the crimes of cat killer Luka Magnotta.

Luka is currently serving a life sentence at the Archambault Institution in Quebec, Canada.

On May 25, 2012, a graphic video entitled '1 Lunatic 1 Ice Pick' was uploaded to Begstore.com showing a man being stabbed to death and then dismembered.

A team of Internet users, who were already trying to locate Luka for previous videos he uploaded of him killing kittens, adopted various sleuthing techniques to track the killer down.

In the video, Luka can be seen straddling Lin Jun, who was tied to the bed post in Magnotta's bedroom.

Luka then proceeds to stab Lin Jun in the chest with what appears to be an ice pick; it was later revealed to be a screw driver that had been modified to look like an ice pick.

After stabbing Lin's chest, Luka dismembers his body and also feeds flesh to a dog, before killing the puppy.

As well as dumping Lin Jun's torso in the rubbish, Luka sent the victim's left foot to the Conservative Party of Canada, and then his right hand to the Liberal Party.

Lin's head was eventually recovered from a small lake in Angrignon Park in Montreal.

After Luka's initial cat killer videos were uploaded and shared online, a Facebook group of cat lovers seeking justice was formed.

The group was made up of various members, including Deanna Thompson and John Green, who traced Luka's identity and whereabouts through items like plug sockets and a vacuum seen in the graphic video footage.

They determined that the cat killer was located in Canada, and their work over the years significantly helped authorities later on, when Lin Jun's body was discovered.

Magnetto then escaped the country and fled to France, where he hid out in a hotel in Bagnolet.

While police traced Luka's movements, he had already escaped by the time the police arrived at the scene.

Eventually, Luka was apprehended by police at an internet cafe in Berlin, Germany.

Due to the nature of Luka's crimes, commercial airlines refused to transport him back to Canada, meaning Magnetto was returned to his motherland in an air force jet.

In another shocking development in the case, Luka insisted he was forced into carrying out these horrific crimes by a man called Emmanuel 'Manny' Lopez.

However, the same Facebook group that identified the cat killer and help bring him to justice also debunked Luka's claims.

They had already discovered that the suspect had multiple social media profiles, which he had previously used to share the videos and infiltrate the private group, before coming across an account linked to this so-called 'Manny'.

One of Luka's aliases was 'K Trammel', which through a quick Google search led the members of the group to discover Manny was a fictional character in the 1992 movie, Basic Instinct.

What's more, Sharon Stone's character Catherine Trammel gave Luka inspiration for the name of the fake profile, and he also copied a scene from the film itself when killing student Lin Jun.

The scene in question sees Sharon Stone's character straddle a naked man who is tied to the bed. She then reaches for an ice pick and stab him multiple times in the chest. There's also a stained glass window behind the bed, which very much resembles to crime scene in the 1 Lunatic 1 Ice Pick video produced by Luka.

Don't F**k With Cats is now available to stream on Netflix.
