Brutal killer Luka Magnotta, who was found guilty for the murder of international student Jun Lin in 2012, has been transferred to a medium-security prison after revealing that he wants to be a woman.
In documents seen by the Toronto Sun, a psychiatric team referred to the gruesome murderer with female pronouns and called him ‘Violette’ – arguing that Magnotta ought to have specialized prison support for being transgender.
Magnotta, 41, was sentenced to life in prison with no eligibility for parole for 25 years in 2014, two years after he admitted to killing Jun Lin, a 33-year-old Concordia University student from China, in his apartment in Montreal, Canada.
He dismembered Lin’s body, and sent his remains paired with threatening messages to schools and federal politicians.
