The Berlin man who took in Luka Magnotta days before his arrest says his guest was generous and that he had no idea about the crimes he was accused of until he spotted a photo of him in a newspaper.
Frank Rubert testified that he posted an ad for a roommate on a gay chat site called GayRomeo, and that Magnotta, using the alias William 2323, answered him in May or June.
According to Rubert, Magnotta said he was living in Paris but wanted to come to Berlin after a relationship ended.
On the lookout for being scammed, since he had been burnt before, Rubert agreed and was pleasantly surprised that Magnotta never asked him for money.
When Magnotta finally arrived in Berlin, however, Rubert thought he was slovenly and unattractive.
