There was a horrid stench coming out of the suitcase. It had been there for days now; the janitor had noticed it every time he swept the alleyway behind the apartment building. Up until then, he'd been able to ignore it, but the smell from inside was getting worse and worse.⁠
⁠
Nothing could have prepared him for what he found inside: a man's severed torso, the limbs torn off.⁠
⁠
The other parts of the dead man would eventually turn up throughout the late spring of 2012, but they would be found nowhere near that apartment in Montreal. His left foot would show up in a package wrapped up by the Canada Post, delivered to the offices of Canada's Prime Minister. The package carrying his left hand, on its way to the Liberal Party, would be intercepted just in time.⁠
⁠
But no one would be able to stop the right side of his body from reaching its destinations: two elementary schools in Vancouver. Both schools would start their day by opening up packages of severed, decomposing human remains.⁠

It didn't take long to figure out who'd done it. Luka Magnotta, after all, had filmed the murder he had committed. He'd uploaded an 11-minute video of himself hacking Lin Jun to pieces onto a website called "bestgore.com" for the whole world to see.⁠
