Adult film actor Luka Magnotta is currently serving a life sentence for murdering, dismembering and eating his lover, Jun Lin, in May 2012. Now, newly released letters written by Magnotta suggest he’s absolutely thriving behind bars.

The letters, which were acquired by the Montreal Gazette, brag about things like “pizza parties” with inmates, “all this chocolate for Valentines Day … ruining my diet,” and that “the food here is really, really good and they serve a lot. The Italian is the best. I also love the ice cream.”
“I really hope you’ll be able to make it in July to the little cottage here,” 33-year-old murderer writes to a friend in a letter dated March 2015. “I’ll fill out the form and put you on the list. I’ll go shopping for the food and movies. We have movie channels and movie night here so I can get any title.”
How about we take this to the next level?

After initially pleading not guilty, Magnotta eventually admitted to videotaping himself butchering and eating Lin, who he met through a Craigslist ad seeking a male bondage partner, then uploading the video to the Internet before cutting Lin up into little pieces and mailing his severed limbs to Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper and two elementary schools.

Liu’s headless torso was discovered by police near Magnotta’s home in Montreal in May 2012. Magnotta, however, had already hightailed it to Europe, where he was arrested a month later at an internet cafe in Berlin. A jury convicted him of first-degree murder in December 2014.
“I’m really enjoy playing hockey and tennis and I’ve lost a lot of weight,” Magnotta’s letter continues. “I’m looking forward to next month when the volleyball nets outside will be put up. I’ve always been an amazing player.”
“We have a nice gym here too for exercising,” he says. “It’s really important to getting the results I want. I spent 2 hours playing sports, one hour exercising and at night I go outside for a walk in the garden.”
“The lilacs,” he adds, “are my favorite.”

What a hot killer
Ronnyboy
Looks like he’s thriving as one of those prison ladyboys. Good for him.
Georgie Land
I think he’s delusional or just crazy.
SeeingAll
Is that…GianCarlo ?
Justin Weeks
Why are we wasting tax money feeding this animal! He should be dead
Bryan Webb
Doesn’t matter if he’s happy or unhappy. The key is that he is off the streets and not endangering anyone.

So in other words, his life was such crap outside of prison that being able to pick a movie or have spaghetti is a big deal for him. Will be interesting to see his letters change when his current boyfriend trades him for a carton of cigarettes.
AtticusBennett
something tells me he’s lying about this, actually.
Gabriel Auger
Only in canadian prisons… spending 130,000$/ year keeping this scumbag alive!! He needs to visit a gulag
Michael Clifford
Why is this a story???
Ronnyboy
@Justin Weeks: Not saying I disagree with the death penalty but this guy was a meth addict and has obvious mental problems.
DarkZephyr
@AtticusBennett: Yeah, to hear him talk he is at a resort.
patricklee5150
I know that he is lying about how wonderful it is in prison….I have known people who have done time in different prisons and there is no prison system who makes life this great for their inmates. Just does not happen. He is either delusional or a liar or both.
SteveDenver
Prison is supposed to be PUNISHMENT.
Quingcess
Finally someone sees prison how I’ve always seen it. [just because one is in confinement doesn’t mean that life is suddenly over]
I’ve never been to jail[not even for a visit]
But I get where he is coming from in terms the prison.
Or maybe I fantasize a lot about the hot murderers in prison.
Damon Robbins
I think he’s bullshiting.
SeeingAll
Don’t know if HE is being truthful or not, but never underestimate the psychotic mind’s capability to turn lemons into lemonade and create all kinds of imaginary and/or real worlds while imprisoned. There are other examples.
Hussain-TheCanadian
Yeah I think he’s bullshiting forsure; even though I am against the death penalty generally speaking, I do support it in small cases like this one.
This man killed in cold blood, admitted to his murders and showed the police how and why – He might be insane, I honestly think he’s disgusting and should be killed by the state for his transgressions against his community.
Hussain-TheCanadian
@SeeingAll: You really had to pull on that chain aah? (smile)
SeeingAll
@Hussain-TheCanadian: I know. (Sorry).
SeeingAll
@Hussain-TheCanadian: But watch, I guarantee you, somebody will contact this guy and want to marry him. In fact he probably WILL get married. To someone into Goth. Even Richard Ramirez (the Night Stalker) had someone marry him. Murderer groupies seem almost stranger than the murderers.
Bascha
Lol talk about making the best of a bad situation. But, really, what’s the point of that great diet and exercise, Mr. Crazy, if no one outside of that prison will ever be able to see it? You being healthy is just prolonging your life sentence!
Hussain-TheCanadian
@SeeingAll: You’re probably right; considering all the weirdos we have to deal with on daily basis, some idiot will “fall in love” with this maniac and try to marry him. At least they’ll be under surveillance in the “gust room” in-case Mr. Magnotta will try and “nibble” on his new husband.
So far, at least in the Canadian media, this guy does not have a fan base because of the gruesome murders he has committed – the Media showed us the body of his last victim when it was first discovered, really nasty what he did to him.
alphacentauri
WTF why is this a story and hopefully he’s lying and being fisted and ass r a p e d in prison oh my bad he would enjoy it too much as he’s sick. It’s too bad he was put into a prison in Canada and given a slap on the wrist instead of being given the death penalty.
Kevin J Desmond
Ok so after he gets fucked will he eat the guy ?
Nicolas Wysocki
Justin we have to talk about him one day. He’s the creepiest! Lol
Bob LaBlah
I find this “follow up” in EXTREMELY poor taste. Personally, I don’t believe ONE damn word he says. Is it really that important to report that the toilet paper he gets issued is Charmin?
Obviously, Queerty does.
SeeingAll
@Hussain-TheCanadian: Hmm. Okay. Maybe showing the victim is the best way to prevent the fan base.
Hussain-TheCanadian
@SeeingAll: I would hope so; I remember even the younger brother of the Boston bombings got teenage girls to idolize him and cry for his “innocence” because he looks cute.
So you never know if this asshole will get a fan later.
SeeingAll
@Hussain-TheCanadian: Looks don’t only sway gay guys I guess.

His real name is Eric Newman. Born: July 24, 1982 (age 33), Scarborough, Toronto, Canada

Thousands of dollars will be spent to keep him alive for the rest of his life…this is pitiful…He should be put down, put to death, just as he brought an end to another human being’s life…

Sounds like Canada’s prisons are even more like country clubs than ours are.
Maleko
His sanity left him long ago. He lives in his delusional world between his ears, custom built by him, for him; OK, seriously, I think he was long gone mentally when he killed his ‘boyfriend.’
Gigi Gee
According to reports Magnotta spends most of his time in solitary confinement. This letter is nothing but lies. He’s psychotic and a sociopath. I can’t believe you fell for his lies.

canadalaw
He’s bullshitting. I am a lawyer and I have been in a number of Canadian prisons/jails and even the most minimum security is nothing like he states. Plus he is mostly kept in confinement, so the only lilacs he is seeing is in his mind.

Thank you for posting that. Good fact check.

As an attorney I have been in numerous prisons to meet with clients concerning matters. This includes San Quintin, Susanville, Marion and a few others. One of my good friends is a former police officer form Saskatchewan and we have talked about the prisons in Canada. This young man is obviously completely delusional and there is nothing he is saying which is factional. The prison states he spends 90% of his time in his cell. He is afraid of the other prisoners harming him. Prison food is adequate for nutrition but it is hardly delicious. A vegetarian could eat a hamburger in a prison and not be worried about it since there is so much textured vegetable protein in the meat it hardly qualifies. While most prisons allow television watching the number of channels is limited and censored. In fact virtually all that is shown is sports. So no walks in the garden, no pizza parties and no movie channel.
I understand some people have never been to a prison for any reason. I also understand some people want to kill people who are convicted of offenses. None of that is really relevant to the issue at hand which is the completely delusional writing of a mentally disturbed human being who is locked up.
Sam Oropeza
Well at least he’s not a danger for society anymore.

@Cam:
Smoking is not permitted anywhere in prison.

@Moises Ortiz: Unlike in the US a “life” sentence is in Canuck ville is not a true “life” it’s 25 years.

People use to send a check for $1.00 to Charlie Manson so they could have his autograph on the returned check.

@AtticusBennett: Nope: He only kills people, then eats them. Lying would be wrong.
