MONTREAL — The jury at Luka Rocco Magnotta’s murder trial has heard from his current psychiatrist that her patient fell in love with a male nurse in April 2013.
Dr. Renee Roy testifed Thursday morning that the nurse worked in a wing where Magnotta was being held and had apparently complimented the accused on his clothing.
Roy said Magnotta wrote a sexually explicit letter to the nurse, who was unaware of the interest.

Magnotta later expressed disappointment when detention centre staff decided to reassign the man from the hospital infirmary.
Magnotta is standing trial on first-degree murder in the May 2012 slaying of Jun Lin.
He has admitted to killing the 33-year-old Chinese engineering student, but has pleaded not guilty by way of mental disorder.
