Luka Rocco Magnotta (born Eric Clinton Kirk Newman; July 24, 1982) is a Canadian former pornographic actor and model who killed and dismembered Lin Jun, a Chinese international student, then mailed his limbs to elementary schools and federal political party offices. This act gained international notoriety. After a video depicting the murder was posted online in May 2012, Magnotta fled Canada, becoming the subject of an Interpol Red Notice and prompting an international manhunt. He was apprehended at an Internet café in Berlin while reading news about himself in June 2012. After eight days of deliberations, a jury convicted him of first-degree murder on December 23, 2014.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Luka Magnotta is convicted of first-degree murder )〕 He was previously sought by animal rights groups for allegedly uploading videos of himself killing kittens. ==Biography== Magnotta was born Eric Clinton Kirk Newman on July 24, 1982 in Scarborough, Toronto. He attended I. E. Weldon Secondary School in Lindsay. In 2003, he began to appear in gay pornographic videos, occasionally working as a stripper and a male escort. He appeared as a pin-up model in a 2005 issue of Toronto's ''fab'' magazine using the pseudonym "Jimmy". In 2007, he was an unsuccessful competitor in OUTtv's reality series ''COVERguy''. Magnotta had multiple cosmetic surgeries and auditioned for the Slice network television show ''Plastic Makes Perfect'' in February 2008. In 2005, he was convicted of one count of impersonation and three counts of fraud (against Sears Canada, The Brick, and 2001 Audio Video) after impersonating a woman to apply for a credit card and purchasing over $10,000 worth of goods. He pleaded guilty and received a nine-month conditional sentence with 12 months of probation. He legally changed his name to Luka Rocco Magnotta on August 12, 2006. Magnotta declared bankruptcy in March 2007, owing $17,000 in various debts. The bankruptcy was fully discharged in December 2007. Many profiles on various internet social media and discussion forums were created over several years to plant a variety of claims about Magnotta. One such rumor emerged in 2007, claiming Magnotta was in a relationship with Karla Homolka, a high-profile Canadian convicted murderer, though he denied this in a subsequent interview with the ''Toronto Sun''. During the murder investigation, Montreal police initially announced the pair had dated but soon retracted the statement and acknowledged that they had no evidence to corroborate the claim. As with the Homolka relationship, Magnotta repeatedly denied the claims as hoaxes and part of a campaign of cyber stalking against him. Police stated that Magnotta set up at least 70 Facebook pages and 20 websites under different names. According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, Magnotta posted on the white supremacist website Stormfront under two different usernames, and had followed the Twitter account of white nationalist Don Black. In one of his alleged Stormfront comments, Magnotta denounced Chinese people. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Luka Magnotta」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
