Luka Magnotta

The trial of Canadian gay porn actor Luka Magnotta, accused of murdering, dismembering and eating his former lover on video, has begun.

On Monday, the first testimony was given in the sensational trial that is expected to feature harrowing and gruesome images and footage of the May 2012 murder of 33-year-old university student Jun Lin.

Magnotta has admitted to filming himself repeatedly stabbing a naked Lin while he was tied to a bed frame, slitting his throat and cutting him into pieces. He then allegedly ate his flesh, performed sexual acts with the body parts and posted a video of the horrific incident onto a website.

One of Lin’s hands was mailed to the Liberal Party headquarters in Ottawa, along with a note threatening the Canadian prime minister. Lin’s left foot was also mailed to the offices of the Conservative Party.

The 32-year-old, who was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia as a teenager, has pleaded not guilty to the crimes, claiming that he was not responsible for his actions because of mental illness.

Magnotta has been charged with first-degree murder, committing an indignity to a body, publishing obscene material, criminally harassing Prime Minister Stephen Harper and other MPs, and mailing obscene and indecent material.

CBC News reports that more than 60 witnesses are expected to be called to testify in the trial, scheduled to last six weeks. Lin’s father has flown in from China to attend the trial.

On Monday, forensic investigator Caroline Simoneau described how she found a limbless and headless human torso, a severed limb, articles of clothing, two knives, a shower curtain, scissors and a dead dog in garbage bag outside of Magnotta’s Montreal apartment building.

After Lin’s murder, Magnotta fled Montreal and became the subject of an international manhunt before being spotted and arrested at a Berlin internet cafe.

He previously worked as a porn actor, model, escort and stripper.
