MONTREAL – Jurors at Luka Rocco Magnotta’s first-degree murder trial were shown a video of Jun Lin entering the killer’s apartment building on the day Lin was last seen alive.
The video shown Thursday depicts Lin wearing a yellow T-shirt, shorts and a baseball cap as he walked in nonchalantly with Magnotta on May 24th, 2012.
Hours later, Magnotta was seen wearing Lin’s T-shirt and methodically putting trash in the basement of the building as well as carrying it outside.
Magnotta is charged with first-degree murder in Lin’s slaying and dismemberment.
Lin’s torso was found on May 29th, stuffed into a suitcase behind the Montreal building.
The first week of the trial heard from eight witnesses — five police officers, two apartment employees and Lin’s former lover, Feng Lin.
The trial resumes Monday.
