Luka Magnotta – Letter sent from prison and picked up by the Toronto Sun in 2015
Luka Magnotta, the protagonist of the Netflix documentary Don't fuck with cats, seems not to be having a bad time in prison in 2020. Sentenced in 2014 to life in prison for the murder and dismemberment of Chinese exchange student Jun Lin, the now media star has all the time in the world to practice his many hobbies (among them, making snowmen), has hundreds of fans (some even go to visit him in prison) and she has even married another inmate. Luka Magnotta today enjoys an almost more intense life than he had when he was a free man.
two years ago years, the canadian newspaper Toronto Sun produced a series of exhaustive reports focused on the figure of Luka Magnotta today. The premiere in 2020 of the documentary on Netflix has revived and filled with value these articles in which we read about the new life of the now protagonist of Don't fuck with cats after starring in an international persecution and one of the most bizarre media and judicial scandals remembered in Canada.
Luka Magnotta in 2020 has to face a difficult future. The young man, who mailed limbs torn from his victim's body to prominent Canadian politicians, will spend the rest of his life in jail. Joe Warmington, the first person to interview Luka Magnotta more than a decade ago, assures that the young man "is not exactly having a very hard life behind bars."
This is the life of Luka Magnotta today in prison
Luka Magnotta is currently as if he were studying a career. "We have the doors open 90% of the time, so I feel like I'm in college life," Luka Magnotta once told a friend in a letter about his life in prison. Thanks to several of these letters obtained by the Toronto Sun we can know that Luka has (or had in 2015) about fifteen fans who went to visit him in prison.
Luka worked seven days a week in the prison kitchen, spending his free time constantly writing letters, as well as relaxing with reading, music, art and sports. Needless to say, as we learned in Don't mess with cats the veracity of Luka's words must be taken with a grain of salt. We must not forget that Luka inhabited an alternate reality that had nothing to do with reality. These revelations come from letters that he himself wrote to several of his friends.
I just bought a Celine Dion record. I have a stereo for when I want to listen to music outside while sunbathing”
What does seem true is that Luka even registered on an online dating website for prisoners called Canadian Inmates Connect, and that he abandoned her when he married another prisoner, named Anthony Jolin, also convicted of murder. Luka Magnotta is currently married and very happy.
Among the other pearls revealed by the Canadian newspaper is the existence of occasional Pizza party nights y the development of a certain pornographic obsession with the British royal family and, more specifically, with princes Harry and Will.
The importance of the Toronto Sun in the Luka Magnotta case
The Toronto Sun was the first media outlet to name Luka Magnotta. Back then, this was just another model wannabe actor. The year was 2007 and Luka Magnotta appeared at the Toronto Sun newsroom to reveal that alleged anonymous death threats received online They were ruining his life. It was all a lie.
With a deep and affected voice, Magnotta assured that many Internet users confused him with a known serial killer. Reporter Joe Warmington at no time considered the young man's testimony credible. (as reflected in the original chronicle with ample doses of sarcasm). As we would discover later in the documentary, this first and only intervention (which also included a video for the newspaper's website) by the young model served to reveal his peculiar idiosyncrasy from very early on.
This video would be the same with which, five years later, the researchers lovers de Don't fuck with cats They could finally put a face to the villain they've been chasing since the release of the infamous video of the smothered kittens.
