Luke Magnotta allegedly sent an email to a British journalist, describing his pleasures of killing and the urge to continue with his heinous deeds, only six months before Jun Lin was found dead and dismembered. The email was reportedly sent only two days after Alex West met with him in London to interview him about the videos he posted online, showing little kittens being killed.
West's meeting with Magnotta lasted for almost 30 minutes in the corridor of a city inn. It was during this interview that Luke Magnotta repeatedly denied having killed any cats and then capturing the killing on video.
West testified against Magnotta through a video link from the Canadian High Commission in London. Also, the members of the jury were given a copy of the email that said, "Once you kill and taste blood, it's impossible to stop. The urge is just too strong not to continue."
The email then continued, "Next time you hear from me, it will be in a movie I am producing that will have some humans in it, not just pussies. J"
Moreover, the email, which mentioned a few lewd remarks about the "sexy" journalist, ended with, "Getting away with all this, now that's genius."
This bizarre email was sent with the use of an alias, John Kilbride, who is actually one of the child victims of a pair of infamous serial kills in Great Britain. The case was referred to as the Moors Murders.
When West testified, he said that he took the email very seriously that he and his superiors at the Sun decided to inform the police.
West is now a key witness in the Crown's argument that the death of the 33-year-old Lin was actually premeditated.
Moreover, West also told the Court that he was selected by his bosses to meet up with Luke Magnotta on December 8th of 2011 in order to grill him about the cat videos that were posted online. The cat videos were also featured in a separate story that the Sun covered a year earlier.
