Luka Magnotta sat bent over in the prisoner’s box, holding his head between his legs, as the video of him viciously mutilating Lin Jun’s naked body was played Thursday in Quebec Superior Court.
While the video does not show the actual killing, it clearly shows Lin with his throat slit.
His body is stabbed repeatedly before he is dismembered. A severed arm is used by the assailant to masturbate.
Jurors also saw a small black and white dog chewing the Chinese student’s torso.
The final images in the video were a number of still photos showing hacked body parts and Lin’s severed head.
The 32-year-old Magnotta slouched and put his head down in the box as the video was played.
The judge overseeing the trial ordered a break in proceedings once the video had been shown.
Over the first dozen days of the trial, jurors were warned they would see graphic evidence.
