| Luka Rocco Magnotta (31) |
Luka Rocco Magnotta seems like a normal guy, some might even consider him attractive. He's a Canadian porn-actor and model born on July 24, 1982. But, what's so special about Magnotta? He's currently facing charges for the murder of Jun Lin committed in 2012. It seems like Magnotta was a big fan of the movie Basic Instinct (1992) and emulated a particular scene from the movie.
Basic Instinct is one of the most iconic movies of actress Sharon Stone. In the movie, a police detective (Michael Douglas) is in charge of the investigation of a brutal murder, in which a beautiful and seductive woman (Sharon Stone)could be involved.

| Basic Instinct (1992) |
The
movie was highly successful and it had incredible following, fans that fell in
love with Catherine Tramell, the seductive character played by Stone. Magnotta
loved the movie, particularly the opening scene, which shows a woman killing a
man who's tied to bed with an ice pick, just like Lucca did with Jun Lin (33),
international chinese student.
However,
in real life, Magnotta took this scene to a different level. Recording the crime and uploading it to a website. And in an
even more disturbing note, he also dismembered Jun Lin (33) and mailed
his body parts to different political parties and schools. So, definitely there
was something different about this horrendous crime, but we can't denied the
resemblance to the movie
Magnotta
was obsessed with Stone’s character and considered himself as being “really
devastatingly good looking,” just like her, and used the nickname Katherine
Tramell to write in several forums. Additionally, in the movie, in a
conversation with Det. Curran (Douglas), Stone’s character says “Killing isn’t like smoking. You can stop,” similarly,
Magnotta wrote in a letter “Killing is different than smoking… with smoking you
can actually quit.”
Finally,
this case seems to have reached its end, Lucca Rocco Magnotta was captured
June, 2012 in Berlin, and is currently awaiting for trial, which has been set
for September 15, 2014. He will face charges of first-degree murder; committing an indignity to a body; publishing obscene
material; criminally harassing Prime Minister Stephen Harper and other members
of Parliament; and mailing obscene and indecent material.

case so far, here’s a link:
